We aren't assuming that the storage mechanism is a graph store, but 
given a work package that is RDF-izing JSON, we seem to be assuming it 
definitely isn't and can't be with that service having to understand 
some domain-specific translation. Effectively, ruling out (web) graph 
stores.

It's a writable web - so far, the emphasis is on reading JSON as RDF. 
Those applications are level 5(?), 6 and 7 may wish to output to graph 
stores or other RDF-based systems. It's webapps working acorss more than 
one service.

What about the complement to parseJsonAsRDF(str)?    outputRDFfromJSON(obj).

Twitter is defining it's own ecosystem.  RSS and ATOM are much more 
about output than input anyway - it's their primary focus.
