<h1>Introduction</h1>

-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>document</em> in this data network is typically identified using an
-<tref>IRI</tref> (Internationalized Resource Identifier). A software program
-can typically follow an IRI just like you follow a URL by putting it into your
-browser's location bar. By following IRIs, a software program can find
-more information about the <em>document</em> and the <em>thing</em>s that
-the document describes.
-These <em>things</em> may also be identified using <tref>IRI</tref>s. The
-<tref>IRI</tref> allows a software program to start at one
-<em>document</em> and follow links to other
-<em>documents</em> or <em>things</em> in order to learn more about all of
-the <em>documents</em> and <em>things</em> described on the Web.

-JSON-LD is designed as a lightweight syntax that can be used to express
-<tref>Linked Data</tref>. It is primarily intended to be a way to use Linked Data
-in Javascript and other Web-based programming environments. It is also
-useful when building inter-operable Web services and when storing Linked
-Data in JSON-based document storage engines. It is practical and designed
-to be as simple as possible, utilizing the large number of JSON parsers
-and libraries available today.

-The syntax does not necessarily require applications to change their JSON, but
-allows one to easily add meaning by simply adding or referencing a context.
-The syntax is designed to not disturb already deployed systems
-running on JSON, but provide a smooth upgrade path from JSON to JSON-LD.
-Finally, the format is intended to be easy to parse, efficient
-to generate, and can operate inside of devices that contain very little
-memory.
