Although it would be handy for some of us, in some cases How about: we can make Linked Data graphs using a JSON based syntax. We can use JSON to serialize Linked Data graphs. In both cases, Zero mention of RDF. At the end of the day, RDF is really an orthogonal matter re. Linked Data. There is nothing about Linked Data that's specific to RDF (syntax, model that underlies sytnax, serialization formats). There have and swill always be many mechanisms for expressing and serializing EAV/SPO based graphs.
