Re: JSON-LD to RDF question...

Axel,


Adding a valid @context to an existing JSON file will make a valid 
JSON-LD file, and therefore yield an RDF graph, but in all but the 
simplest cases, it will not be the graph you want.

 From my experience, any non trivial data integration task with JSON and 
RDF will require a change in the structure of the JSON tree that cannot 
be emulated with any @context construction.

For such cases, you need a more expressive way to map JSON to RDF, 
either by programming a dedicated application or using a generic purpose 
mapping language, such as RML [1] or SPARQL-Generate [2] (or maybe 
XSPARQL?).

Being involved in the development of SPARQL-Generate, I recommend it! :)
I wrote a transformation for you:

https://www.emse.fr/~zimmermann/Data/geojson/query-geojson.rqg

which applies to your example data that I put at:

http://www.emse.fr/~zimmermann/Data/geojson/geo.json

The transformation is not trivial at all because lists are a bit tricky 
to generate properly. It can be executed using our web service:

http://w3id.org/sparql-generate/api/transform?queryurl=https://www.emse.fr/~zimmermann/Data/geojson/query-geojson.rqg

You can play with the language using our online playground at:

https://ci.mines-stetienne.fr/sparql-generate/playground.html

but if you have a lot of data to convert, please use our executable JAR:

https://ci.mines-stetienne.fr/sparql-generate/sparql-generate-jena.jar
