Re: [webpayments] How should the message schemas for the payment request and response be defined? (#27)

@All

I work for Wells Fargo, this response is in my own personal capacity.

At Wells Fargo, we have been considering leveraging JSON-LD.

This great w3c standard can be used as reference to neatly structure a JSON entity from conceptual metadata management all the way through implementing end-to-end applications.

To that end, we plan on leveraging work products from EDM Council’s Financial Industry Business Ontology  to have common vocabulary for interchange, not only for web payments but for various business entities. JSON-LD allows us to have context in our JSON and tie back these taxonomies so the data can be governed with defined lineage. There are no other JSON standards today that provide the same tie-in capability with enterprise schemas and ontologies.

This w3c standard supports this in a way that uses the existing web infrastructure as the widely popular JSON format by only adding context. 

We are very interested and following work already done with JSON-LD with Web Payments, and look forward to seeing further evolution and refinement.
