Make link to RDF more apparent in the specification

[msporny]

The following specific change was requested by @prototypo in May/June 2012 and again at the last RDF WG Face to Face meeting:

[The JSON-LD Syntax specification] must mention RDF up front and somewhere later the details must make it clear that JSON-LD is a legitimate serialization of the RDF data model.

We would be able to do this in the introduction, and possibly in the abstract.

[lanthaler]

I would be certainly fine with doing that in the introduction, less so in the abstract. I would also like to see the RDF WG put somewhere in RDF Concepts a statement that IRIs SHOULD be dereferenceable (or at least a formal RECOMMENDED). Without that, RDF is just as much Linked Data as XML namespaces are. I will send a mail regarding that to the RDF WG mailing list shortly..

[prototypo]

Hi Markus,

Thanks regarding the Introduction. As for the IRI SHOULD, could you please raise an ISSUE on the Concepts spec instead of just sending an email? Thanks.

Regards,
Dave

PROPOSAL: Add a statement in the introduction of the JSON-LD syntax specification saying that JSON-LD is a legitimate serialization of the RDF data model.

[gkellogg]

+1, but without "legitimate"

[msporny]

+1, but without "legitimate"

[prototypo]

No objection from me.

Should probably be specific about whether it's a syntax for RDF graphs or RDF datasets (or both), so this may have a dependency on #183.

[niklasl]

+1, but without "legitimate". Also agree that the graph vs. dataset issue needs to be solved.

[cygri]

+1. As I said, #183 needs to be resolved, but this doesn't actually block this issue.

[lanthaler]

RESOLVED: Add a statement in the introduction of the JSON-LD syntax specification saying that JSON-LD is a serialization of the RDF data model.

[lanthaler]

I added the statement to the spec. Unless I hear objections I will close this issue in 24 hours.
