My rewording (see below) I intentionally didn't use the word processor. What
processor are you talking about? A JSON-LD processor? It wouldn't make much
sense IMHO to restrict a JSON-LD processor to just extract RDF. As I said,
what's done with the data is completely up to the application extracting it.
We can say that if RDF is desired the specified algorithm should be used,
but that's it IMO.


[[[
Defining how such data may be used is beyond the scope of this
specification. The embedded JSON-LD document might be extracted as is or
converted to RDF.

If JSON-LD content is extracted as RDF, it should be expanded into an RDF
dataset using the Convert to RDF Algorithm [JSON-LD-API]. If multiple
embedded JSON-LD documents are extracted as RDF, the result is the RDF merge
of the extracted datasets.
