I’ve updated the presentation in response to some of your comments.

Then people can decide to interpret JSON-LD documents as N3, following slide 5 representation, and do *N3 reasoning*, not "JSON-LD reasoning". They could also just map this representation to a normal RDF dataset and apply other kinds of reasoning.

>> There’s a short overview of new things in JSON-LD 1.1, and as a bonus, a sketch of how Notation3 reasoning might look in JSON-LD. (Hint, we really only need to invent a way to describe universal variables at the syntax level; reasoning should be universal based on obvious projections from Notation 3. The required extensions to RDF Datasets and better description of reasoning semantics are work to be done elsewhere).
