Hi,
We have a bit of a challenge with some of the resources that we are
exposing over the Web using REST services. We strive to return all
responses as JSON-LD documents, but the structure of some document
sections is not determined upfront, which means we can't build JSON-LD
context for such documents. Currently we are returning them as plain JSON
documents, but we would like to do better than that. Consider the following
document:
{
firstName: "John",
lastName: "Smith",
dateOfBirth: "1970/03/12",
additionalInfo: {
favouriteSoccerClub: "soccer"
}
}
In the document above "firstName", "lastName", "dateOfBirth" represent
information with defined context, so it can be returned in a JSON-LD
response. But "favouriteSoccerClub" is a part of a property bag with items
added ad-hoc, so they can't be semantically described. Is it possible to
expose such document as JSON-LD with "additionalInfo" embedded as some kind
of CLOB but in a JSON format, so "additionalInfo" would still be a valid
JSON node?
Thanks in advance
