Yeah. A bit of both, actually. ;) JSON-LD is the new bridge builder / peace-maker in this space.
There's an RDF-based data model "underneath" but the expression of it can be treated as "plain JSON" for those who don't do RDF. For instance, I have the beginnings of the Web Annotation Protocol built on Apache CouchDB: https://github.com/BigBlueHat/ldp-on-couchdb The Web Annotation Protocol is based on LDP BasicContainers--which really just (re)defined GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE + Link headers for finding your way around: https://www.w3.org/TR/annotation-protocol/ Anyhow, it's getting uptake from folks who have little to no interest in RDF or graphs as well as folks who depend heavily on RDF and graphs--which is about the best scenario we can hope for these days. :) Thanks for the thoughts, Nick!

Lots has happened in the intervening 14 years. :) :) Thanks for the reply. I kind-of thought it might've done, but (having followed your first link and found only javascript that had nothing to say on the subject) I was looking for ... well, I guess your reply and the links in it. Lots more reading to do, but I see it's moved from RDF and pie-in-the-sky to JSON and some more realistic expectations. -- Nick Kew --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
