I haven't looked at the changes yet but I tend to agree with Melvin. These are not serialization algorithms, i.e., they are not producing an output in any of the concrete RDF syntaxes but emit abstract data structures representing RDF's data model, i.e., triples/quads. So, what if we would call those algorithms "Convert to/from RDF Quads Algorithm" instead? To be honest, I don't really see why we can't keep the current names given that the algorithms convert abstract RDF to a concrete JSON-LD serialization or vice versa. -- Markus Lanthaler @markuslanthaler
