Subject: Re: [cti-users] Towards a better understanding of JSON-LD (Was: MTI Binding)
Thanks Shawn, that was a useful video. I think some of the goals it articulates (JSON developers wanting to work with JSON-LD as JSON, not RDF) are important and align with what Cory was hoping to achieve with his proposed approach. While I’m still not personally
sold on the value of a native-RDF serialization this does give me more confidence in a JSON-LD-based approach as a compromise solution if we get to that point.
I sent a separate e-mail to a few of you with some thoughts on problems to solve and restrictions we’d encounter to implement the JSON-LD approach. I don’t want to exclude anybody, but I also don’t want to flood the list with in-depth discussion
on a particular approach.
More broadly, in my mind the next steps to moving forward on the format discussion are:
1. Put a table together with the sort of requirements that we’ve identified on the wiki page and reference how each of these formats (XML Schema, JSON Schema, JSON-LD) meets those requirements. I can mock something up and fill in what I know for
XML Schema and JSON Schema.
2. Have someone familiar with JSON-LD put together a sample context and JSON schema to see how much up-front work it will be and whether we can get to the point where pure JSON developers just see JSON. I think Cory will be stepping up here, though
it may take a few weeks (which is totally reasonable).
3. At some point (maybe once we go to actually formalize this decision in a work product) we need to hear from more voices. This decision can’t be made based on 10 of us arguing about whether people will want RDF: we need to hear from those people
building capabilities (analysts hoping to use native RDF capabilities, vendors building products) to see where we really stand as a community. My proposal on this one is to wait, minimally, until #1 and #2 are done and then consider more actively soliciting
opinions from the TC (google form, poll, etc).
