Is there a particular reason why the RDF mapping is in the API spec rather than in the language spec? Is the proposal that RDF-WG should take both the API spec and the language spec to REC? At first glance, these sections look great. I notice three things though: 1. I'd prefer if the algorithms were defined in terms of standard RDF terminology (RDF graph, triple, IRI, etc.) rather than API interfaces that use quite different terminology (array of Statements, Statement, NamedNode, etc.) See here for the RDF 1.1 data model: http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/rdf/raw-file/default/rdf-concepts/index.html 2. Examples would be great. 3. Is it possible to serialize an RDF graph into a “pretty” JSON-LD document using a context? I presume the answer is “yes” and involves Compaction of the basic serialized output. > Btw. I can't join the RDF WG mailing list. Is there anything I must know? I believe that the list is members-only (with public archive). I don't know why. There is an open comments list here, which is generally better if non-WG-members are involved: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-comments/ Best, Richard > > > -- > Markus Lanthaler > @markuslanthaler > > > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Ivan Herman [mailto:ivan@w3.org] >> Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2012 9:19 PM >> To: Richard Cyganiak >> Cc: Manu Sporny; RDF WG; Linked JSON >> Subject: Re: JSON-LD Syntax request for FPWD via RDF WG >> >> I am not Manu, but what I know is... >> On May 22, 2012, at 14:17 , Richard Cyganiak wrote: >> >>> Hi Manu, >>> >>> A couple of questions: >>> >>> * Is JSON-LD an RDF serialization? >> >> I think the best way of saying it is: it can be used as an RDF >> serialization, although applications may use it directly, too, without >> referring to RDF. >> >>> * Given a JSON-LD document, how do I get an RDF graph from it? >> >> The answer is that this is a bit hidden in the document though, when >> reading it, the conversion is fairly clear.
