Re: Merging JSON-LD graphs

I think you mean RDF graphs. We shouldn’t repeat the mistakes that were
made with RDF/XML and conflate the model and the serialization(s).

If you read both graphs into an RDF dataset using library such as Jena or
RDF4J or Python’s RDFLib, you can then re-serialize them into a single file
(JSON-LD or other).
