 JSON, as specified in [[!RFC4627]], is a simple language for representing
 data on the Web. <tref>Linked Data</tref> is a technique for creating a network
 of inter-connected data across different Web documents and Web sites.
-A <em>thing</em> in this data network is typically identified using an
-<tref>IRI</tref> (Internationalized Resource Identifier), which is typically
-dereference-able, and thus may be used to find more information about the
-<em>thing</em>. The <tref>IRI</tref> allows
-a software program to start at one <em>thing</em> and follow links to other
-<em>things</em> in order to learn more about all of the things described on the
