W3C Release :Two JSON-LD First Drafts Published

12 July 2012

JSON has proven to be a highly useful object serialization and messaging format. JSON-LD harmonizes the representation of Linked Data in JSON by outlining a common JSON representation format for expressing directed graphs; mixing both Linked Data and non-Linked Data in a single document. The RDF Working Group has published two related First Public Working Drafts:

• JSON-LD API 1.0 outlines an API and a set of algorithms for transforming JSON-LD documents in order to make them easier to work with in programming environments like JavaScript, Python, and Ruby.
• JSON-LD Syntax 1.0 outlines a common JSON representation format for expressing directed graphs; mixing both Linked Data and non-Linked Data in a single document.
