Yes, we've considered that option and in fact we use for some things:
http://scholarly.vernacular.io/#data-rich. One interesting application
of that is as a manifest for a larger research bundle.

The problems are:

  • For the specific issue of encoding authorship (or for that matter
citations) the JSON-LD is not necessarily that much clearer than the
RDFa :) Especially with roles.

  • In general I think it is a good guiding principle that things that
should be shown to humans should actually be in the HTML. This rules
out JSON-LD islands for authors and citations (but completely keeps it
in for other things).
