I hope others who are more familiar with JSON-LD framing will answer 
your question, but . . .

Funny.  I think rdf/xml is the *least* readable of RDF serializations!

Here is the same thing in turtle, for the benefit of other readers:

@prefix rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> .
@prefix ns0: <http://www.myresource.com/ontology/1.0#> .
@prefix rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> .

<http://rdf.freebase.com/ns/m.018w8>
     rdfs:label "Basketball"@en .

<http://www.myresource/uuid>
     ns0:talksAbout <http://rdf.freebase.com/ns/m.018w8> .

Thanks,
