Re: Yandex Testing Tool supports JSON-LD

Hi Alex,

Glad to see a tool being created.

+1 on the confusion on the output of the tool…

I entered:

<script type="application/ld+json">
{"name":"Jims Record 1","url":"http://www.example.com/1/b","educationalAlignment":[{"alignmentType":"teaches","educationalFramework":"Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts","targetName":"CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.R.4","@type":"AlignmentObject","targetUrl":"http://corestandards.org/ELA-Literacy/CCRA/R/4"},{"alignmentType":"teaches","educationalFramework":"Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts","targetName":"CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.R.5","@type":"AlignmentObject","targetUrl":"http://corestandards.org/ELA-Literacy/CCRA/R/5"},{"alignmentType":"teaches","educationalFramework":"Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts","targetName":"CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.R.6","@type":"AlignmentObject","targetUrl":"http://corestandards.org/ELA-Literacy/CCRA/R/6"}],"@context":[{"url":{"@type":"@id"},"@vocab":"http://schema.org/"},{"lrmi":"http://lrmi.net/the-specification#","useRightsUrl":{"@id":"lrmi:useRightsUrl","@type":"@id"}}],"@id":"http://www.example.com/1/b","@type":"CreativeWork"}
</script>

and got:

jsonld
@id = http://www.example.com/1/b
@type = CreativeWork
name = Jims Record 1
url = http://www.example.com/1/b
educationalAlignment
@type = AlignmentObject
alignmentType = teaches
educationalFramework = Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts
targetName = CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.R.4
targetUrl = http://corestandards.org/ELA-Literacy/CCRA/R/4
educationalAlignment
@type = AlignmentObject
alignmentType = teaches
educationalFramework = Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts
targetName = CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.R.5
targetUrl = http://corestandards.org/ELA-Literacy/CCRA/R/5
educationalAlignment
@type = AlignmentObject
alignmentType = teaches
educationalFramework = Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts
targetName = CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.R.6
targetUrl = http://corestandards.org/ELA-Literacy/CCRA/R/6
@context
url
@type = @id
@vocab = http://schema.org/
@context
lrmi = http://lrmi.net/the-specification#
useRightsUrl
@id = lrmi:useRightsUrl
@type = @id

One thing I would have hoped to see is (an ability) to see the properties (and values) get fully resolved from the context. It's unclear if this is occurring.

The obvious things I see is that it's flattening arrays and keeping Classes still organized. The not so obvious thing is it does seem to be parsing @context as I noticed it added an @id property and value in the output based upon the url being tagged as an @id.

The biggest problem I see is that it's not clear if it's interpreting the vocabulary from the context (if this is actually happening).

What might make sense, using my example, is to expand property names and type values with the context:
		url -> http://schema.org/url
		alignmentType -> http://schema.org/alignmentType
		AlignmentObject -> http://schema.org/AlignmentObject
		useRightsUrl -> http://lrmi.net/the-specification#useRightsUrl

Once the context is 'expanded', drop it from the output as it would no longer be needed.


Cheers,

- Jim
