What is the value of a blank node? Can you nest these structures? What do you do for non-ASCII strings? Linebreaks in strings? Do you handle named graphs? > If you publish RDF, would you consider publishing this RDF/JSON > serialisation, and is it clear and unambiguous how to do so? See my questions above. I would be unlikely to publish in this serialization: unlike other uses of JSON, this one will only be of use to Javascript, where writing parsers for other languages is inconvenient. Everyone else has Turtle. > If you read RDF from the web in your applications and scripts, > would this be a convenient serialisation for you? Not really: I rarely process RDF in Javascript, and if I did it is unlikely that the data I would want to process would be available in this format. My other tools handle more widespread formats, like Turtle, N-Triples, and RDF/XML.
