Re: JSON-LD & nested structure

Hello,

I was wonderning what is the best way to frame a JSON-LD graph using
multiple @id? I know @id must be an IRI and does not accept arrays of IRIs
but sometimes we want to "hook" a list of IRIs that have nothing in common
in kind of relations (@type or whatsoever).

Currently I can only think of 2 hackish-scenarii to frame a list of IRIs
"ids", but neither of them is elegant:

1/ for each IRI in ids, frame the graph. Then merge the mutiple @graph
results into a single one
2/ for each IRI in ids, add a statement in the original graph like "<
http://dummy> ns:hooks <IRI>" . Frame the graph with { @id: "http://dummy"
} and extract @graph[0]["ns_hooks"] in the @graph result.

Any other solution?
