Markus,

Changing topic since this is matter on to itself re. Hydra.

Please don't look at things in this manner re. Turtle and JSON-LD. When 
making anything that's based on RDF and its semantics, you need Turtle 
for readability at the very least. Even more so for comprehension etc.. 
There is no cost to publishing vocabulary and ontology definitions in 
Turtle and JSON-LD.

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. I've watched this movie a 
zillion times (over way too many years), and each time the outcome is 
the same i.e., an utterly unnecessary distraction that inevitably 
detracts from the core mission :-)
