Linked Data Platform significant event W3C Recommendation
History
LDP evolved from work at IBM's Rational Product Group for application integration. Starting in 2010, IBM looked at linked data for application lifecycle management and sought what was an alternative means for read–write linked data.
IBM joined with the W3C in June 2012 to form a W3C working group, which operated until July 2015. 
On 26 February 2015, the W3C Linked Data Platform 1.0 was approved as a W3C Recommendation.
