Hey everyone, I managed to convince the RDF WG of the value of the following idea back in 2003 for RDF/XML, and wanted to try again now for JSON-LD. The idea was that some existing XML documents should be able to be interpreted as RDF/XML. So this; <Person xmlns="something"> <Name>Mark</Name> <City>Ottawa</Name> </Person> means the same thing as if it were wrapped in rdf:RDF. I had a look at the spec, and AFAICT (by looking at the spec, but also playing in the playground), this isn't the case with JSON-LD, i.e. the following JSON isn't also JSON-LD; {"name":"Mark","city":"Ottawa"} Is there a reason why this isn't already the case? I'm still quite new to JSON-LD and don't have a feel for some of its goals, but as a new user, this would simplify things for me. And as I mentioned to the RDF WG, it's also a terrific tool in explaining the value of JSON-LD and also in aiding in migration from JSON to JSON-LD. I should mention that despite using JSON-LD, I'm *not* using RDF, so I'm not at all concerned about the fact that "name" and "city" aren't grounded. I understand that will be a concern for others, but it would be nice if I weren't required to care about it ;-) Mark.
