However, if JSON-LD is supposed to be providing a serialization for RDF graphs that the RDF WG is going to endorse, then there is nothing good to say about a parallel set of definitions in the JSON-LD documents. Exactly. Peter seems to be very good at making the things that worry me very clear and explicit ;) I wish Manu would take a minute now and think about these two sentences. This is the core of the issue, which I have - admittedly - failed to communicate.

I do understand the wish of the JSON-LD editors to use terminologies and presentations that are closer to the target audience of this document, who are primarily Web developers accessing RDF/Linked Data through their familiar JSON environment and who, for good or bad reasons, have some aversion v.a.v. core RDF. I agree that things should be aligned but I think 'There should be many more occurrences of "RDF" than "linked data"' would lead to this document be ignored by many whom we like to attract as possible users. >> >> I would wait for the outcome of the work that Manu and Richard have signed up for working out the details for such alignments. >> >> I agree that this issue should be put behind us before going to official LC, though. >> >> ivan >> >> >> > > The JSON-LD syntax document is supposed to define JSON-LD. It is currently full of text and constructions that parallel RDF definitions and that do not defer to the RDF definitions. Two parallel sets of definitions for one thing?
