In my view, processors > return RDF. Full stop... 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. ]]] Cheers, Markus -- Markus Lanthaler @markuslanthaler
