Getting closer to JSON Linked Data

Going mainstream?  US tech press covered this today:

“JSON Linked Data is getting closer with the publication of two Last Call Working Drafts by the W3C’s RDF Working Group and its JSON-LD Community Group. JSON-LD (JavaScript Object Notation for Linking Data) is a lightweight Linked Data format designed to provide context for data and to help JSON data interoperate at Web-scale. Based on the JSON format, it is easy for humans to read and write at the same time as being easy for machines to parse and generate.  The first working draft is for JSON-LD 1.0, which sets out a common JSON representation format for expressing directed graphs; mixing both Linked Data and non-Linked Data in a single document. The aim is to provide a smooth upgrade path from JSON to JSON-LD, though any systems already using JSON can remain in their currently deployed state. JSON-LD aims to give you a way to work with Linked Data.”
