Re: W3C WG Update

Adding to what Victor said, if you have RDF, JSON, and XML (not relevant in
this case), JSON-LD sort of comes for free.

a) RDF -> JSON-LD (straightforward serialization of the RDF graph just as
any other RDF serialization such as Turtle, RDF/XML, N-Triples, etc.)
b) JSON -> JSON-LD (by adding a context to the JSON document)

To simplify case b), the working group can prepare a ready-to-use JSON-LD
context that maps the ODRL 2.1 JSON Encoding names to the ODRL 2.1 ontology
properties. Some other W3C WGs such as W3C Hydra CG already follow similar
approach [1].

If the WG decides to do so, may be the only actions required are
1.) Create a context document that can be easily used by people
2.) Explain in "2.1 A Note on JSON-LD" [2] of ODRL Version 2.1 JSON
Encoding how to convert JSON to JSON-LD using this approach with an example

With this, case b) can be simplified as something like the following

{
  "@context": "http://www.w3.org/ns/odrl/2/context.jsonld",
  "@id": "http://example.com/policy:0099",
  "policytype": "http://www.w3.org/ns/odrl/2/Set",
  "permissions": [{
       "target": "http://example.com/asset:9898",
       "action": "http://www.w3.org/ns/odrl/2/reproduce" }]
}
