+<p>Normalization is the process of taking <tref>JSON-LD input</tref> and 
+performing a deterministic transformation on that input that results in all
+aspects of the graph being fully expanded and named in the 
+<tref>JSON-LD output</tref>. The normalized output is generated in such a way 
+that any conforming JSON-LD processor will generate identical output 
+given the same input. The problem is a fairly difficult technical 
+problem to solve because it requires a directed graph to be ordered into a 
+set of nodes and edges in a deterministic way. This is easy to do when all of 
+the nodes have unique names, but very difficult to do when some of the nodes 
+are not labeled.

+
+<p>In time, there may be more than one normalization algorithm that will need
+to be identified. For identification purposes, this algorithm is named
