-Introduction
-------------
-
-
-JSON-LD (JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data) is a lightweight Linked 
-Data format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines 
-to parse and generate. It is based on the already successful JSON format and 
-provides a way to help JSON data interoperate at Web-scale. If you are already 
-familiar with JSON, writing JSON-LD is very easy. There is a smooth migration 
-path from the JSON you use today, to the JSON-LD you will use in the future. 
-These properties make JSON-LD an ideal Linked Data interchange language for 
-JavaScript environments, Web services, and unstructured databases such as 
-CouchDB and MongoDB.

-A Simple Example
-----------------
-
-A simple example of a JSON object with added semantics:
-
-{
-  "#": {"foaf": "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/"},
-  "@": "<http://example.org/people#john>",
-  "a": "foaf:Person",
-  "foaf:name" : "John Lennon"
-}
-               
-The example above describes a person whose name is John Lennon. The difference 
-between regular JSON and JSON-LD is that the JSON-LD object above uniquely 
-identifies itself on the Web and can be used, without introducing ambiguity, 
-across every Web site, Web services and databases in operation today.
-
-The Specification

-If you are a developer, you may be interested in the latest WebID specification:
