Can JSON-LD > be used to substitute JSON Schema? What are your opinions on that? They serve different purposes. The short version is: JSON-LD give JSON messages a well-defined meaning by mapping most things to IRIs. JSON Schema describes the syntactic structure of a JSON document. Both work with JSON so you can use them together. HTH, Markus [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-linked-json/ -- Markus Lanthaler @markuslanthaler
