Perhaps a > short overview subsection in the syntax spec would be helpful? Compaction doesn't change the tree structure whereas in framing you can specify the desired tree serialization. I agree, some higher level description would be helpful. As already said, the API spec isn't ready yet :-) If you are interested, we have a playground where you can try the different operations: http://json-ld.org/playground/ -- Markus Lanthaler @markuslanthaler
