RE: Inverse properties in JSON-LD

Hi David,

we have been discussing inverse properties in various contexts but decided
to not support them in JSON-LD 1.0. We tried to avoid micro-syntaxes such as
"^parent" whenever possible. So if we would be going to support it would
probably look more like this:

{
  "@context": [
    "http://json-ld.org/contexts/person.jsonld",
    {
      "children": { "@rev": "parent", "@type": "@id" }  
    }
  },
  "@id": "http://dbpedia.org/resource/John_Lennon",
  "name": "John Lennon",
  "born": "1940-10-09",
  "children": "http://dbpedia.org/resource/Sean_Lennon"
}


The example above overlays a local context over the remote context
"person.jsonld" and defines children to be the reverse of parent. It's
values are type-coerced to @id so that they are interpreted as IRIs.


Cheers,
Markus

Subject: Inverse properties in JSON-LD

Hello,

I was wondering if inverse properties have been considered for JSON-LD?

e.g.

{
  "@context": "http://json-ld.org/contexts/person.jsonld",
  "@id": "http://dbpedia.org/resource/John_Lennon",
  "name": "John Lennon",
  "born": "1940-10-09",
  "^parent": "http://dbpedia.org/resource/Sean_Lennon" <-- Sean is John’s
son
}

Where a symbol, such as ‘^’ indicates that the property is inverse of the
stated property.

Many thanks,

Dave Rogers
