In particular, as far as I can see, Appendix A of "JSON-LD 1.0: A JSON-based Serialization for Linked Data", W3C Editor's Draft 16 June 2013, has definitions of just about every aspect of RDF graphs without once referring to any RDF document.  Some of these definitions are extensions of the ones in the RDF documents and some are different.
