JSON-LD 1.1 update breakout session results

I presented slides at http://json-ld.org/presentations/JSON-LD-Update-TPAC-2019/.

We showed the updates to JSON-LD since the 1.0 release in 2014 and described our transition to CR expected in a couple of weeks.

There was discussion about reactivating the JSON-LD CG to serve as an advocacy point, and to solicit input on a new JSON-LD timeline for subsequent changes.

One area noted was the non-resolution of text direction in both JSON-LD and RDF, which will be discussed in another session. If a solution is found without modifying the RDF data model, potentially the WG could adapt some syntactic sugar to extend the JSON-LD value object to represent text direction more natively.

So far, three implementations (Ruby, JavaScript and Python) are targeted to be updated to 1.1, and we’d like to see more. One implementation area of specific interest is C++, and developers are sought.

Minutes are at https://www.w3.org/2019/09/18-json-ld-minutes.html.
