They are definitions (bold & italic) because we use those terms throughout the document and that's the way how you reference them with ReSpec. Would you like to see a "as defined in RDF Concepts" everywhere? > It is totally unnecessary to have all these redefinitions, even when > there were real differences between the JSON-LD data model and > definitions from RDF Concepts. For someone with an RDF background that's true. For everyone else it isn't. Sure, we could just require that everyone reads and understands RDF Concepts first but we wanted to avoid that. Would including a non-normative summary of the data model in the same style be OK? I'm fine with almost everything that isn't just a diff to RDF's data model. > Consider, for example, the way that generalized RDF Datasets are now > defined > in RDF Concepts.

If all the definitions such a definition relies on are in the same document it is indeed trivial. -- Markus Lanthaler @markuslanthaler
