GSoC 2013 Project for RDFa

Hi,

I'm Tao Lin, an undergraduate student from China. I'm very interested
in contributing to W3C for RDFa [1] in GSoC 2013.

1. Introduction to myself
I've successfully completed 2 GSoC projects for the past 2 years.
Especially in GSoC 2012, I added the RDFa metadata support for Apache
ODF Toolkit [2], in order to provide the abilities to annotate parts
of the ODF [3] document and the document itself with arbitrary RDFa
annotations. I have good knowledge of Semantic Web related
technologies, like RDF, RDFa, Linked Data and schema.org. I'm also
interested in website development in the front-end, with the skills of
Javascript, HTML5 and D3.js. Although I don't know the new standard of
JSON-LD, I think I can study and get familiar with it within days.

2. About the RDFa project
I just went through the project ideas [1]. The following one attracts me a lot:
- Expand the http://rdfa.info/play/ tool to add support for JSON-LD,
more/smoother visualizations of data.
I just checked out the source code of the play tool from github [4]. I
can understand the js code and how it works. I'd like to work on it
this summer. However, the description of this project is "only a
starting point". It's greatly appreciated if you can tell me more
details. What are the requests, the new functions of the play tool.
For example, what kinds of more visualizations? What's smoother
visualization? How to support JSON-LD in details?

The GSoC project will last for 3 month. I'd like to divide it into
some specific tasks, and then make a plan with a timeline accordingly.
Now I need your help for the task list. Thanks a lot!

Best regards,
Tao Lin
