Re: Straw Poll : Turtle vs JSON-LD

May be this helps:

Unambiguous, uniqueness, and universality are three distinct concepts that are often used in different contexts. Here's a brief explanation of each term:

1. Unambiguous: Something is unambiguous when it has a clear and definite meaning or interpretation. It means there is no ambiguity or confusion in understanding it. In other words, there is only one possible understanding or explanation for it. For example, a clear and precise statement or instruction is unambiguous because there is no room for misinterpretation.

2. Uniqueness: Uniqueness refers to the quality of being one of a kind or having no equal. It means there is only one instance or occurrence of something. Uniqueness implies that no other similar or identical thing exists. For example, a unique piece of artwork is one that cannot be replicated or reproduced exactly.

3. Universality: Universality refers to the condition of being applicable or existing everywhere or for everyone. It is the idea that something is true, valid, or relevant for all cases, situations, or individuals. Universality implies that something is not limited to a specific context or group but is true or relevant universally. For example, universal human rights are principles that apply to all people regardless of their nationality, race, or gender.

In summary, unambiguous refers to clarity and lack of confusion, uniqueness refers to being one of a kind, and universality refers to the quality of being applicable or true for all cases or individuals.
