 Evaluating the credibiity of digital information about the real world is a difficult problem, one which is not sufficiently addressed by cryptographic signing or blockchain validation.  An open, interoperable, cross-domain web of trust could enable robust credibility assessment; a number of projects pursue this goal.  LinkedClaims is a minimal standard to enable links between independent claims: each claim must be addressable (ie have a URI), must be about an addressable subject, and must be cryptographically signed.  Several desirable features are also identified, such as the ability to make a determinate hash of claim content.  The LinkedClaim pattern already exists in several independent projects and implementations; by defining profiles or mappings for these existing data structures to a LinkedClaim data model, we enable linking them together without requiring changes to their native formats.
 
+## Status of This Document
+
+Decentralized Web Node is a _DRAFT_ specification under development within the [Decentralized Identity Foundation](https://identity.foundation) (DIF). It is an active work item of the [Linked Claim Incubation Lab at DIF](https://github.com/decentralized-identity/labs/blob/main/proposals/linked_claims/001_proposal.md)  It incorporates requirements and learnings from diverse stakeholders across sectors into a shared specification that meets the collective needs of the community.
+
+The specification will be updated to incorporate feedback, from DIF members and the wider community, with a reference implementation being developed within DIF that exercises the features and requirements defined here. We encourage reviewers to submit [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/decentralized-identity/labs-linkedclaims/issues) as the means by which to communicate feedback and contributions.
