Thanks Markus, very interesting stuff. Looks like I need to read up more on RDF & things. :) I'm not sure about whether to use prefixes. What are the pros/cons in terms of JSON-LD? But as Michiel said earlier in this thread, in the end it doesn't really matter what format we use for storage, as at least on the JavaScript front we provide the library to access the data. That can still convert to "pure" jCards or whatever.

I simplified some here, e.g., "street-address" to just "street" and made sure you don't have to use prefixes. If you would be fine with using prefixes such in v:address in your JSON-LD documents the context could be simplified to something like: >> >> { >> "@context": { >> "v": "http://www.w3.org/2006/vcard/ns#", >> "v:email": { "@type": "@id" }, >> "r:value": "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#value" >> } >> } >> >> The document would then look as follows: http://bit.ly/Mw0weD >> >> >> The advantage of using JSON-LD in this instance is that you could easily integrate data coming from RDF/XML, Turtle, RDFa (embedded in Websites) into your system. >> >> >> [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/vcard-rdf/ >> >> >> Hope this helps, > > WOW! thanks a lot Markus, looks to me like enough of advice to sort it out :) let's see what nil and other folks on unhosted list think about it... thank you once more!!! >
