Action-55 JSON-LD Context file etc.

During yesterday's vocabs call, Eric S took an action to work with a 
member of the PNNL team to look at JSON-LD as a means of making our 
vocabs less Linked Data centric.

It bothered me that I couldn't immediately jump in and take care of this 
so I've been doing some digging/self-teaching and ended up looking at 
the JSON-LD Context file [1] created by the Hydra CG [2]. That's a 
pretty good place to end up as the people behind that Community group 
include a lot of the JSON-LD authors.

I need to spend more time on this (and others are welcome to as well of 
course) but what I believe this this gives us is a way for people to 
use, say DCAT in JSON just using terms like

title
theme
homepage

without needing to know or care that all three of those come from 
different namespaces.

I hope I've got that right (I'll check with the Hydra folks).

Cheers for now

Phil.
