+a
+light-weight
+syntax
+that
+can
+be
+used
+to
+express
+Linked
+Data.
+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
+interoperable
+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.
+It
+is
+designed
+to
+be
+able
+to

+key-value

+RDF
+data,
+RDFa
+[
+RDFA-CORE
+]
+data,
+Microformats
+[
+MICROFORMATS
+]
+data,
+and
+Microdata
+[
+MICRODATA
+].
+That
+is,
+it
+supports
+every
+major
+Web-based
+structured
+data
+model
+in
+use
+today.
+The
+syntax
+does
+not
+necessarily
+require
+applications
+to
+change
+their
+JSON,
+but
+allows
+to
+easily
+add
+meaning
+by
+adding
+context
+in
+a
+way
+that
+is
+either
+in-band
+or
+out-of-band.
+The
+syntax
+is
+designed
+to
+not
+disturb
+already
+deployed
+systems
+running
+on
+JSON,
+but
+provide
+a
+smooth
+upgrade
+path
+from
+JSON
+to
+JSON
+with
+added
+semantics.
+Finally,
+the
+format
+is
+intended
+to
+be
+easy
+to
+parse,
+efficient
+to
+generate,
+convertible
+to
+RDF
+in
+one

+Compaction

+<p>
+Compaction
+is
+the
+process
+of
+taking
+a
+JSON-LD
+document
+and
+applying
+a
+context
+such
+that
+the
+most
+compact
+form
+of
+the
+document
+is
+generated.
+JSON
+is
+typically
+expressed
+in
+a
+very
+compact,
+key-value
+format.
+That
+is,
+full
+IRIs
+are
+rarely
+used
+as
+keys.
+At
+times,
+a
+JSON-LD
+document
+may
+be
+received
+that
+is
+not
+in
+its
+most
+compact
+form.
+JSON-LD,
+via
+the
+API,
+provides
+a
+way
+to
+compact
+a
+JSON-LD
+document.
+</p>
+<p>
+For
+example,
+assume
+the
+following
+JSON-LD
+input

+<p>
+Additionally,

+<p>
+JSON [<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-RFC4627">RFC4627</a></cite>] has proven to be a highly useful object serialization and
+messaging format. JSON-LD [<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-JSON-LD">JSON-LD</a></cite>] harmonizes the representation of
+Linked Data in JSON by outlining a common JSON representation format for
+expressing directed graphs; mixing both Linked Data and non-Linked Data in
+a single document. This document outlines an Application Programming
+Interface and a set of algorithms for programmatically transforming
+JSON-LD documents in order to make them easier to work with in programming
+environments like JavaScript, Python, and Ruby.

+    This specification was published by the <a href="http://www.w3.org/community/json-ld/">JSON for Linking Data Community Group</a>.

+<p>This document has been under development for over 18 months in the
+JSON for Linking Data Community Group. The document has recently been
+approved for transfer into the RDF Working Group for
+review with the intent to publish the
+document along the W3C
+Recommendation track. This specification has undergone significant
+development, review, and changes during the course of the last 18
+months and is being published as a Final Community Group Specification so that
+it may gain wider review and feedback.
+</p>
+<p>
+There are currently
+<a href="http://json-ld.org/#impl">five interoperable implementations</a>
+of this specification. There is
+a <a href="https://github.com/json-ld/json-ld.org/tree/master/test-suite">fairly complete test suite</a>
+and a
+<a href="http://json-ld.org/playground/">live JSON-LD editor</a>
+that is capable of demonstrating the features described in
+this document. While development on implementations, the test suite
+and the live editor will continue, they are believed to be mature enough
+to be integrated into a non-production system at this point in time with
+the expectation that they could be used in a production system within the
+next year.

+It is important for readers to understand that the scope of this document is
+currently under debate and new features may be added to the specification.
+Existing features may be modified heavily or removed entirely from the
+specification upon further review and feedback from the broader community.
+This is a work in progress and publication as a First Public Working Draft
+does not require that all Working Group members agree on the content of the

+
+<p>
+This document is a detailed specification for an Application Programming
+Interface for the JSON-LD Syntax. The document is primarily intended for
+the following audiences:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Web authors and developers that want a very detailed view of how
+  a JSON-LD processor and the API operates.</li>
+  <li>Software developers that want to implement processors and APIs for
+  JSON-LD.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+To understand the basics in this specification you must first be familiar with
+JSON, which is detailed in [<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-RFC4627">RFC4627</a></cite>]. You must also understand the
+JSON-LD Syntax [<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-JSON-LD">JSON-LD</a></cite>], which is the base syntax used by all of the
+algorithms in this document. To understand the API and how it is
+intended to operate in a programming environment, it is useful to have working

+<h2><span class="secno">2. </span>Introduction</h2>
+
+<p>
+The JSON-LD Syntax specification [<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-JSON-LD">JSON-LD</a></cite>] outlines a language that may be
+used to express Linked Data in JSON. Often, it is useful to be able to
+transform JSON-LD documents so that they may be easily processed in
+a programming environment like JavaScript, Python or Ruby.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+There are three major types of transformation that are discussed in this
+document; compaction, expansion, and RDF conversion.
+</p>
+
+<div id="expansion" class="section">
+  <h3><span class="secno">2.1 </span>Expansion</h3>
+  <p>
+Software algorithms are easiest to write when the data that they are processing
+have a regular form. Since information can be represented by JSON-LD in a
+variety of different ways, transforming all of these methods into a uniform
+structure allows the developer to simplify their processing code. For example,
+note that the following input uses only <a class="tref internalDFN" title="term" href="#dfn-term">term</a>s and is fairly
+compact:
+  </p>
+
+  <div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 1</span></div><pre class="example">var input1 = {
+  &quot;@context&quot;: &quot;http://json-ld.org/contexts/person.jsonld&quot;
+  &quot;name&quot;: &quot;Manu Sporny&quot;,
+  &quot;homepage&quot;: &quot;http://manu.sporny.org/&quot;
+}</pre></div>
+
+  <p>
+The next input example uses one <a class="tref internalDFN" title="iri" href="#dfn-iri"><abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr></a> to express a property, but
+leaves the rest of the information untouched.
+  </p>
+
+  <div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 2</span></div><pre class="example">var input2 = {
+  &quot;@context&quot;: &quot;http://json-ld.org/contexts/person.jsonld&quot;
+  &quot;<span class="diff">http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name</span>&quot;: &quot;Manu Sporny&quot;,
+  &quot;homepage&quot;: &quot;http://manu.sporny.org/&quot;
+}</pre></div>
+
+  <p>
+While both inputs are valid JSON-LD, writing a program to handle every
+permutation of possible inputs can be difficult, especially when the incoming
+context could change as well. To ensure that the data can be given a more
+uniform structure, JSON-LD introduces the notion of expansion.
+<dfn title="expansion" id="dfn-expansion">Expansion</dfn> performs two important operations. The first is to
+expand all values that are <a class="tref internalDFN" title="iri" href="#dfn-iri"><abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr></a>s to their fully expanded form.
+The second is to express all values in <dfn title="expanded_form" id="dfn-expanded_form">expanded form</dfn>. To
+transform both inputs above to the same representation, the developer could
+do the following:
+  </p>
+
+  <div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 3</span></div><pre class="example">function expansionCallback(output) {
+   console.log(output);
+}
+
+// the second parameter is 'null' because the developer does not wish to
+// inject another context value
+jsonld.expand(input1, null, expansionCallback);
+jsonld.expand(input2, null, expansionCallback);</pre></div>
+
+  <p>
+The output for both calls above will be:
+  </p>
+
+  <div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 4</span></div><pre class="example">[{
+  &quot;http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name&quot;: [{
+    &quot;@value&quot;: &quot;Manu Sporny&quot;
+  }],
+  &quot;http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/homepage&quot;: [{
+    &quot;@id&quot;: &quot;http://manu.sporny.org/&quot;
+  }]
+}]</pre></div>
+
+  <p>
+Note that in the example above; all <a class="tref internalDFN" title="context" href="#dfn-context">context</a> definitions have
+been removed, all <a class="tref internalDFN" title="term" href="#dfn-term">term</a> and prefixes have been expanded to full
+IRIs, and all <a class="tref internalDFN" title="literal" href="#dfn-literal">literal</a>s are expressed in <a class="tref internalDFN" title="expanded_form" href="#dfn-expanded_form">expanded form</a>.
+While the output is more difficult for a human to read, it is easier for a
+software program to process because of its very regular structure.
+  </p>
+</div>
+
+<div id="compaction" class="section">
+  <h3><span class="secno">2.2 </span>Compaction</h3>
+  <p>
+While expansion expands a given input as much as possible, compaction performs
+the opposite operation - expressing a given input as succinctly as possible.
+While expansion is meant to produce something that is easy to process by
+software programs, compaction is meant to produce something that is easy to
+ready by software developers. Compaction uses a developer-supplied
+<a class="tref internalDFN" title="context" href="#dfn-context">context</a> to compresses all <a class="tref internalDFN" title="iri" href="#dfn-iri"><abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr></a>s to <a class="tref internalDFN" title="term" href="#dfn-term">term</a>s
+or <a class="tref internalDFN" title="prefix" href="#dfn-prefix">prefix</a>es, and compacts all <a class="tref internalDFN" title="literal" href="#dfn-literal">literal</a>s expressed
+in <a class="tref internalDFN" title="expanded_form" href="#dfn-expanded_form">expanded form</a> as much as possible.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+The following example expresses input that has already been fully expanded:
+  </p>
+
+  <div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 5</span></div><pre class="example">var expandedInput = [{
+  &quot;http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name&quot;: [{
+    &quot;@value&quot;: &quot;Manu Sporny&quot;
+  }],
+  &quot;http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/homepage&quot;: [{
+    &quot;@id&quot;: &quot;http://manu.sporny.org/&quot;
+  }]
+}]</pre></div>
+
+  <p>
+A developer that wants to transform the data above into a more human-readable
+form, could do the following using the JSON-LD API:
+  </p>
+
+  <div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 6</span></div><pre class="example">function compactionCallback(output) {
+   console.log(output);
+}
+
+jsonld.compact(expandedInput, &quot;http://json-ld.org/contexts/person.jsonld&quot;, compactionCallback);</pre></div>
+
+  <p>
+The following would be the result of the call above:
+  </p>
+
+  <div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 7</span></div><pre class="example">{
+  &quot;@context&quot;: &quot;http://json-ld.org/contexts/person.jsonld&quot;
+  &quot;name&quot;: &quot;Manu Sporny&quot;,
+  &quot;homepage&quot;: &quot;http://manu.sporny.org/&quot;
+}</pre></div>
+
+  <p>
+Note that all of the <a class="tref internalDFN" title="term" href="#dfn-term">term</a>s have been compressed and
+the <a class="tref internalDFN" title="context" href="#dfn-context">context</a> has been injected into the output. While compacted
+output is most useful to humans, it can also be carefully used to generate
+structures that are easy to use for developers to program against as well.
+  </p>
+
+</div>
+
+<div id="conversion-to-and-from-rdf" class="section">
+  <h3><span class="secno">2.3 </span>Conversion to and from RDF</h3>
+  <p>
+JSON-LD can be used to losslessly express the RDF data model as described in
+the RDF Concepts document  [<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-RDF-CONCEPTS">RDF-CONCEPTS</a></cite>]. This ensures that
+data can be round-tripped from any RDF syntax, like N-Triples or TURTLE,
+without any loss in the fidelity of the data. Assume the following RDF input
+in N-Triples format:
+  </p>
+
+  <div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 8</span></div><pre class="example">var data = &quot;
+&lt;http://manu.sporny.org/about/#manu&gt; &lt;http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name&gt; \&quot;Manu Sporny\&quot; .\n
+&lt;http://manu.sporny.org/about/#manu&gt; &lt;http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/homepage&gt; &lt;http://manu.sporny.org/&gt; .&quot;;</pre></div>
+
+  <p>
+A developer can use the JSON-LD API to transform the markup above into a
+JSON-LD document:
+  </p>
+
+  <div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 9</span></div><pre class="example">function conversionCallback(result)
+{
+  console.log(&quot;JSON-LD Document: &quot;, result);
+};
+
+jsonld.fromRDF(data, conversionCallback, {&quot;format&quot;: &quot;ntriples&quot;});</pre></div>
+
+  <p>
+The following expanded output would be the result of the call above:
+  </p>
+
+  <div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 10</span></div><pre class="example">[{
+  &quot;@id&quot;: &quot;http://manu.sporny.org/about/#manu&quot;,

+  &quot;http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/homepage&quot;: [{
+    &quot;@id&quot;: &quot;http://manu.sporny.org/&quot;
+  }]
+}]</pre></div>
+
+  <p>
+Note that the output above, could easily be compacted to produce the following
+using the technique outlined in the previous section:
+  </p>
+
+  <div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 11</span></div><pre class="example">{
+  &quot;@context&quot;: &quot;http://json-ld.org/contexts/person.jsonld&quot;,

+  &quot;homepage&quot;: &quot;http://manu.sporny.org/&quot;
+}</pre></div>
+
+  <p>
+Transforming the object above back to RDF is as simple as calling the
+<code>toRDF()</code> method:
+  </p>
+
+  <div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 12</span></div><pre class="example">var jsonldDocument = ...; // assign the JSON-LD document here
+
+function rdfCallback(quads)

+There are currently two other API methods that are in active development and
+were not ready for publication at the time this document was published.
+Framing allows a developer to force a different layout for the data and
+effectively perform query-by-example on JSON-LD documents - this is most
+useful when a JSON-LD-based REST API does not know the exact form of the data
+it is getting in, but still wants to operate upon it if some bare essentials
+are found in the data. JSON-LD normalization allows JSON-LD documents to be
+deterministically serialized such that they can be digitally signed or be
+used to find the differences between two <a class="tref internalDFN" title="linked_data_graph" href="#dfn-linked_data_graph">linked data graph</a>s.
+It is expected that framing will be a part of the final API. It is expected
+that normalization will be an optional feature that JSON-LD processors may
+implement.

+  IRIs are rarely used as keys. At times, a JSON-LD document may be received
+  that is not in its most compact form. JSON-LD, via the API, provides a way
+  to compact a JSON-LD document.</p>
+

+}</pre></div>
+
+<p>Running the JSON-LD Compaction algorithm given the context supplied above
+  against the JSON-LD input document provided above would result in the following

+
+<p>A JSON-LD document <em class="rfc2119" title="may">may</em> be converted between other RDF-compatible document
+  formats using the algorithms specified in this section.</p>
+
+<p>The JSON-LD Processing Model describes processing rules for extracting RDF

+  another serialization format into JSON-LD. Note that many uses of JSON-LD may not require
+  generation of RDF.</p>
+
+<p>The processing algorithms described in this section are provided in
+  order to demonstrate how one might implement a JSON-LD to RDF processor.
+  Conformant implementations are only required to produce the same type and

+  <h4><span class="secno">4.9.1 </span>Overview</h4><p><em>This section is non-normative.</em></p>
+  <p>
+    JSON-LD is intended to have an easy to parse grammar that closely models existing
+    practice in using JSON for describing object representations. This allows the use
+    of existing libraries for parsing JSON.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    As with other grammars used for describing <a class="tref internalDFN" title="linked_data" href="#dfn-linked_data">Linked Data</a>, a key
+    concept is that of a <a class="tref internalDFN" title="node" href="#dfn-node">node</a> in a <a class="tref internalDFN" title="linked_data_graph" href="#dfn-linked_data_graph">linked data graph</a>.
+    Nodes may be of three basic types.
+    The first is the <a class="datatype idlType" title="IRI" href="#idl-def-IRI"><code><abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr></code></a>, which is used to refer to
+    <a class="tref internalDFN" title="node" href="#dfn-node">node</a>s in other <a class="tref internalDFN" title="linked_data_graph" href="#dfn-linked_data_graph">linked data graph</a>s.
+    The second is the
+    <a class="tref internalDFN" title="blank_node" href="#dfn-blank_node">blank node</a>, which are nodes for which an external name does not
+    exist, or is not known. The third is a <a class="tref internalDFN" title="literal" href="#dfn-literal">Literal</a>, which express
+    values such as strings, dates and other information having a lexical
+    form, possibly including an explicit language or datatype.
+  </p>
+  <p>Data described with JSON-LD may be considered to be a graph made
+    up of <a class="tref internalDFN" title="subject" href="#dfn-subject">subject</a> and <a class="tref internalDFN" title="object" href="#dfn-object">object</a>
+    <a class="tref internalDFN" title="node" href="#dfn-node">nodes</a> related via a <a class="tref internalDFN" title="property" href="#dfn-property">property</a>
+    <a class="tref internalDFN" title="node" href="#dfn-node">node</a>. Specific implementations may also choose to operate
+    on the document as a normal JSON description of objects having
+    attributes. Both approaches are valid ways to interact with JSON-LD
+    documents.</p>

+  <h4><span class="secno">4.9.2 </span>Parsing Examples</h4><p><em>This section is non-normative.</em></p>
+
+  <p>The following examples show simple transformations of JSON-LD documents to Turtle [<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-TURTLE-TR">TURTLE-TR</a></cite>].</p>
+
+  <p>The first example uses a simple document containing a simple FOAF profile:</p>
+
+<div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 18</span></div><pre class="example">{
+  &quot;@context&quot;: {&quot;foaf&quot;: &quot;http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/&quot;},

+  &quot;foaf:knows&quot;: {
+    &quot;@type&quot;: &quot;foaf:Person&quot;,
+    &quot;foaf:name&quot;: &quot;Manu Sporny&quot;
+  }
+}</pre></div>
+
+  <p>This translates fairly directly to a similar Turtle document:</p>
+
+<div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 19</span></div><pre class="example">@prefix foaf: &lt;http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/&gt;.
+

+  foaf:name &quot;Gregg Kellogg&quot;;
+  foaf:knows [ a foaf:Person; foaf:name &quot;Manu Sporny&quot;].</pre></div>
+
+  <p>The actual parsing steps first require that the JSON-LD document be expanded,
+    to eliminate the <code>@context</code>:</p>
+
+<div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 20</span></div><pre class="example">[{
+  &quot;@id&quot;: &quot;http://greggkellogg.net/foaf#me&quot;,
+  &quot;@type&quot;: [&quot;http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person&quot;],
+  &quot;http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name&quot;: [{&quot;@value&quot;: &quot;Gregg Kellogg&quot;}],
+  &quot;http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/knows&quot;: [{

+    &quot;http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name&quot;: [{&quot;@value&quot;: &quot;Manu Sporny&quot;}]
+  }]
+}]</pre></div>
+
+  <p>The process of translating this to RDF then operates over each
+    <a class="tref internalDFN" title="subject_definition" href="#dfn-subject_definition">subject definition</a> to find a subject,
+    each <a class="tref internalDFN" title="property" href="#dfn-property">property</a> to find an RDF <em>predicate</em>,
+    and each value of that property to find an <a class="tref internalDFN" title="object" href="#dfn-object">object</a>.
+    In this case, each property has just a single object:
+    <code>foaf:name</code> identifies a <a class="tref internalDFN" title="literal" href="#dfn-literal">literal</a>, and
+    <code>foaf:knows</code> identifies a second <a class="tref internalDFN" title="subject_definition" href="#dfn-subject_definition">subject definition</a>
+    similar to Turtle's <code>blankNodePropertyList</code>.</p>
+
+  <p>After expansion, JSON-LD <a class="tref internalDFN" title="number" href="#dfn-number">numbers</a>,
+    <a class="tref internalDFN" title="true" href="#dfn-true">booleans</a>, typed- and language-tagged-<a class="tref internalDFN" title="literal" href="#dfn-literal">literals</a>, and <a class="tref internalDFN" title="iri" href="#dfn-iri">IRIs</a>
+    become explicit, and can be directly transformed into their RDF representations.</p>

+<p>When coercing numbers to <strong>xsd:integer</strong> or <strong>xsd:double</strong>
+  as it, e.g., happens during <a href="#rdf-conversion">RDF Conversion</a>, implementers <em class="rfc2119" title="must">must</em>
+  ensure that the result is a canonical lexical form in the form of a
+  <a class="tref internalDFN" title="string" href="#dfn-string">string</a>. A <dfn title="canonical_lexical_form" id="dfn-canonical_lexical_form">canonical lexical form</dfn> is a set of literals
+  from among the valid set of literals for a datatype such that there is a one-to-one mapping
+  between the canonical lexical form and a value in the value space as defined in
+  [<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-XMLSCHEMA11-2">XMLSCHEMA11-2</a></cite>]]. In other words, every value <em class="rfc2119" title="must">must</em> be converted to a deterministic string
+  representation.</p>
+<p>The canonical lexical form of an <em>integer</em>, i.e., a number without fractions
+  or a number coerced to <strong>xsd:integer</strong>, is a finite-length sequence of decimal
+  digits (<code>0-9</code>) with an optional leading minus sign; leading zeroes are prohibited.
+  To convert the number in JavaScript, implementers can use the following snippet of code:</p>
+<div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 23</span></div><pre class="example">(value).toFixed(0).toString()</pre></div>
+<p>The canonical lexical form of a <em>double</em>, i.e., a number with fractions
+  or a number coerced to <strong>xsd:double</strong>, consists of a mantissa followed by the
+  character &quot;E&quot;, followed by an exponent. The mantissa <em class="rfc2119" title="must">must</em> be a decimal number. The exponent
+  <em class="rfc2119" title="must">must</em> be an integer. Leading zeroes and a preceding plus sign (<code>+</code>) are prohibited
+  in the exponent. If the exponent is zero, it must be indicated by <code>E0</code>.
+  For the mantissa, the preceding optional plus sign is prohibited and the decimal point is
+  required. Leading and trailing zeroes are prohibited subject to the following: number
+  representations must be normalized such that there is a single digit which is non-zero to the
+  left of the decimal point and at least a single digit to the right of the decimal point unless
+  the value being represented is zero. The canonical representation for zero is <code>0.0E0</code>.
+  To convert the number in JavaScript, implementers can use the following snippet of code:</p>
+<div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 24</span></div><pre class="example">(value).toExponential().replace(/e\+?/,'E')</pre></div>
+<p><strong>xsd:double</strong>'s value space is defined by the IEEE double-precision 64-bit
+floating point type [<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-IEEE-754-1985">IEEE-754-1985</a></cite>].</p>
+
+<div class="note"><div class="note-title"><span>Note</span></div><p class="">When data such as decimals need to be normalized, JSON-LD authors should
+not use values that are going to undergo automatic conversion. This is due to the lossy nature
+of <strong>xsd:double</strong> values. Authors should instead use the expanded object form to
+set the canonical lexical form directly.</p></div>

+
+<p>At this point, <code>myObj1</code> and <code>myObj2</code> will have different

+  <code>42</code>, while <code>myObj2</code> have an object consisting of

+It
+is
+practical
+and
+designed
+to
+be
+as
+simple
+as
+possible,
+utilizing
+the
+large

+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
+only
+requires
+a
+very
+small

+footprint

+to

+Typed

+may
+be
+expressed
+in
+JSON-LD
+in
+three
+ways:
+By
+utilizing
+the
+@type
+keyword
+when
+defining
+a
+term
+within
+a
+@context
+section.
+By
+utilizing
+the
+expanded
+form
+for
+specifying
+objects.
+By
+using
+a
+native
+JSON
+type.
+The
+first
+example
+uses
+the
+@type
+keyword
+to
+associate
+a
+type
+with
+a
+particular
+term
+in
+the
+@context
+:
+{
+  &quot;@context&quot;:
+  {
+    &quot;modified&quot;:
+    {
+      &quot;@id&quot;: &quot;http://purl.org/dc/terms/modified&quot;,

+  },
+...
+  &quot;modified&quot;: &quot;2010-05-29T14:17:39+02:00&quot;,
+...
+}
+The
+modified
+key's
+value
+above
+is
+automatically
+type
+coerced
+to
+a
+datetime
+value
+because
+of
+the
+information
+specified
+in
+the
+@context
+.
+The
+second
+example
+uses
+the
+expanded
+form
+of
+setting
+the
+type
+information
+in
+the
+body
+of
+a
+JSON-LD
+document:
+{
+  &quot;@context&quot;:
+  {
+    &quot;modified&quot;:
+    {
+      &quot;@id&quot;: &quot;http://purl.org/dc/terms/modified&quot;
+    }
+  },
+...
+  &quot;modified&quot;:
+  {
+    &quot;@value&quot;: &quot;2010-05-29T14:17:39+02:00&quot;,
+    &quot;@type&quot;: &quot;http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#dateTime&quot;
+  }
+...
+}
+Both
+examples
+above
+would
+generate
+an
+object
+with
+the
+value
+of
+2010-05-29T14:17:39+02:00
+and
+the
+type
+of
+http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#dateTime
+.
+The
+third
+example
+uses
+a
+built-in
+native
+JSON
+type,
+a
+number
+,
+to
+express
+a
+type:
+{
+...
+  &quot;@id&quot;: &quot;http://example.org/people#joebob&quot;,
+  &quot;age&quot;: 
+...
+}
+The
+example
+above
+is
+really
+just
+a
+shorthand
+for
+the
+following:
+{
+...
+  &quot;@id&quot;: &quot;http://example.org/people#joebob&quot;,
+  &quot;age&quot;:
+  {
+    &quot;@value&quot;: &quot;31&quot;,
+    &quot;@type&quot;: &quot;http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#integer&quot;
+  }
+...
+}
+The
+@type
+keyword
+is
+also
+used
+to
+associate
+a
+type
+with
+a
+subject
+.
+Although
+the
+same
+keyword
+is
+used
+in
+both
+places,
+the
+concept
+of
+an
+object
+type
+and
+a
+value
+type
+are
+different.
+This
+is
+similar
+to
+object-oriented
+programming
+languages
+where
+both
+scalar
+and
+structured
+types
+use
+the
+same
+class
+inheritance
+mechanism,
+even

+types

+<p>
+JSON has proven to be a highly useful object serialization and messaging format.
+In an attempt to harmonize the representation of <a class="tref internalDFN" title="linked_data" href="#dfn-linked_data">Linked Data</a>
+in JSON, this specification outlines a common JSON representation format for
+expressing directed graphs; mixing both Linked Data and non-Linked Data in
+a single document.

+  <p>
+    This specification was published by the <a href="http://www.w3.org/community/json-ld/">JSON for Linking Data Community Group</a>.
+    It is not a W3C Standard nor is it on the W3C Standards Track.
+    
+      Please note that under the

+  
+<p>This document has been under development for over 18 months in the
+JSON for Linking Data Community Group. The document has recently been
+cleared to be moved into the RDF Working Group for review and
+publication along the
+Recommendation track. This specification has undergone significant
+development, review, and changes during the course of the last 18
+months and is being published as a Final Community Group Specification
+to transition the work into the RDF Working Group.
+</p>
+<p>
+There are currently
+<a href="http://json-ld.org/#impl">five interoperable implementations</a>
+of this specification. There is
+a <a href="https://github.com/json-ld/json-ld.org/tree/master/test-suite">fairly complete test suite</a>
+and a
+<a href="http://json-ld.org/playground/">live JSON-LD editor</a>
+that is capable of demonstrating the features described in
+this document. While development on implementations, the test suite
+and the live editor will continue, they are believed to be mature enough
+to be integrated into a non-production system at this point in time with
+the expectation that they could be used in a production system within the
+next year.
+</p>
+
+
+<p>There are a number of ways that one may participate in the development of
+this specification:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>If you want to make sure that your feedback is formally addressed by
+    the RDF Working Group, you should send it to public-rdf-comments:
+    <a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-comments/">public-rdf-comments@w3.org</a></li>
+
+  <li>Ad-hoc technical discussion primarily occurs on the public community mailing list:
+    <a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-linked-json/">public-linked-json@w3.org</a></li>
+
+  <li><a href="http://json-ld.org/minutes/">Public JSON-LD Community Group teleconferences</a>
+  are held on Tuesdays at 1500UTC every week.</li>
+
+  <li>RDF Working Group teleconferences are held on Wednesdays at 1500UTC
+  every week. Participation is limited to RDF Working Group members.</li>
+
+  <li>Specification bugs and issues should be reported in the
+    <a href="https://github.com/json-ld/json-ld.org/issues">issue tracker</a>
+    if you do not want to send an e-mail to the public-rdf-comments mailing
+    list.</li>
+
+  <li><a href="https://github.com/json-ld/json-ld.org/tree/master/spec">Source code</a>
+    for the specification can be found on Github.</li>
+

+
+<p>
+JSON, as specified in [<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-RFC4627">RFC4627</a></cite>], is a simple language for representing
+data on the Web. <a class="tref internalDFN" title="linked_data" href="#dfn-linked_data">Linked Data</a> 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
+<a class="tref internalDFN" title="iri" href="#dfn-iri"><abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr></a> (Internationalized Resource Identifier). A software program
+can typically follow an <abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr> 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 <a class="tref internalDFN" title="iri" href="#dfn-iri"><abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr></a>s. The
+<a class="tref internalDFN" title="iri" href="#dfn-iri"><abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr></a> 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.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+JSON-LD is designed as a lightweight syntax that can be used to express
+<a class="tref internalDFN" title="linked_data" href="#dfn-linked_data">Linked Data</a>. 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.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+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 only requires a very small memory footprint in order to
+operate.

+<h3><span class="secno">1.1 </span>How to Read this Document</h3><p><em>This section is non-normative.</em></p>
+
+<p>
+This document is a detailed specification for a serialization of Linked
+Data in JSON. The document is primarily intended for the following audiences:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Software developers that want to encode Linked Data in a way that is
+  cross-language compatible via JSON.</li>
+  <li>Software developers that want to understand the design decisions and
+  language syntax for JSON-LD.</li>
+  <li>Software developers that want to implement processors and APIs for
+  JSON-LD.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>This specification does not describe the programming interfaces for the
+JSON-LD Syntax. The specification that describes the programming interfaces
+for JSON-LD documents is the JSON-LD Application Programming Interface
+[<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-JSON-LD-API">JSON-LD-API</a></cite>].</p>
+
+<p>
+To understand the basics in this specification you must first be familiar with
+JSON, which is detailed in [<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-RFC4627">RFC4627</a></cite>].</p>
+
+<p>
+  JSON [<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-RFC4627">RFC4627</a></cite>] defines several terms which are used throughout this document:
+  </p><dl>
+    <dt><dfn title="json_object" id="dfn-json_object">JSON object</dfn></dt><dd>
+      An object structure is represented as a pair of curly brackets 
+      surrounding zero or more name-value pairs. A name is a 
+      <a class="tref internalDFN" title="string" href="#dfn-string">string</a>. A single colon comes after each name, separating the 
+      name from the value. A single comma separates a value from a following 
+      name. The names within an object <em class="rfc2119" title="should">should</em> be unique.
+    </dd>
+    <dt><dfn title="array" id="dfn-array">array</dfn></dt>
+    <dd>
+      In JSON, an array is an <em>ordered</em> sequence of zero or more values.
+      An array is represented as square brackets surrounding
+      zero or more values that are separated by commas. 
+      While JSON-LD uses the same array representation as JSON,
+      the collection is <em>unordered</em> by default. While order is
+      preserved in regular JSON arrays, it is not in regular JSON-LD arrays
+      unless specific markup is provided
+      (see <a href="#sets-and-lists">Sets and Lists</a>).</dd>
+    <dt><dfn title="string" id="dfn-string">string</dfn></dt><dd>
+      A string is a sequence of zero or more Unicode characters,
+      wrapped in double quotes, using backslash escapes (if necessary). A
+      character is represented as a single character string.</dd>
+    <dt><dfn title="number" id="dfn-number">number</dfn></dt>
+    <dd>
+      A number is is similar to that used in most programming languages, except 
+      that the octal and hexadecimal formats are not used and that leading 
+      zeros are not allowed.</dd>
+    <dt><dfn title="true" id="dfn-true">true</dfn> and <dfn title="false" id="dfn-false">false</dfn></dt><dd>
+      Values that are used to express one of two possible boolean states.</dd>
+    <dt><dfn title="null" id="dfn-null">null</dfn></dt><dd>
+      The null value is used to make the JSON-LD processor &quot;forget&quot; any
+      previously defined JSON key that is associated with the null value.
+      If a previous definition doesn't exist, the entire key-value is ignored.
+      If a previous definition of the key does exist, the previous 
+      definition is undefined.</dd>
+    <dt><dfn title="subject_definition" id="dfn-subject_definition">subject definition</dfn></dt><dd>
+      A <a class="tref internalDFN" title="json_object" href="#dfn-json_object">JSON object</a> used to represent a <a class="tref internalDFN" title="subject" href="#dfn-subject">subject</a> and 
+      one or more properties of that subject. A <a class="tref internalDFN" title="json_object" href="#dfn-json_object">JSON object</a> is a 
+      subject definition if it does not contain they keys <code>@value</code>,

+<h2><span class="secno">2. </span>Design Goals and Rationale</h2><p><em>This section is non-normative.</em></p>
+
+<p>A number of design goals were established before the creation of this
+  markup language:</p>
+
+<dl>
+ <dt>Simplicity</dt>
+ <dd>No extra
+ processors or software libraries should be necessary to use JSON-LD in its most
+ basic form. The language will provide developers with a very easy
+ learning curve. Developers need only know JSON and two
+ <a class="tref internalDFN" title="keyword" href="#dfn-keyword">keywords</a> (<code>@context</code>
+ and <code>@id</code>) to use the basic functionality in JSON-LD.</dd>
+ <dt>Compatibility</dt>
+ <dd>The JSON-LD markup must be 100% compatible with JSON. This ensures that
+ all of the standard JSON libraries work seamlessly with JSON-LD documents.</dd>
+ <dt>Expressiveness</dt>
+ <dd>The syntax must be able to express directed graphs, which have been proven
+ to be able to express almost every real world data model.</dd>
+ <dt>Terseness</dt>
+ <dd>The JSON-LD syntax must be very terse and human readable, requiring as
+ little effort as possible from the developer.</dd>
+ 
+<!-- <dt>Pragmatism</dt>
+ <dd>Mixing the expression of pure Linked Data with data that is not
+ linked was an approach that was driven by pragmatism. JSON-LD attempts to be
+ more practical than theoretical in its approach to Linked Data.</dd> -->
+
+ <dt>Zero Edits, most of the time</dt>
+ <dd>JSON-LD must provide a
+ <a href="#referencing-contexts-from-json-documents">mechanism</a>
+ that allows developers to specify <a class="tref internalDFN" title="context" href="#dfn-context">context</a> in a way that is
+ out-of-band.
+ This allows organizations that have
+ already deployed large JSON-based infrastructure to add meaning to their
+ JSON documents in a way that is not disruptive to their day-to-day operations and is
+ transparent to their current customers. At times, mapping JSON to
+ a graph representation can become difficult. In these instances, rather than
+ having JSON-LD support an esoteric use case, we chose not to support the
+ use case and support a simplified syntax instead. So, while Zero Edits is
+ a goal, it is not always possible without adding great complexity to
+ the language.
+ </dd>
+ <dt>One-pass Processing</dt>
+ <dd>JSON-LD supports one-pass processing, which results in a very small memory
+ footprint when processing documents. For example, to expand a JSON-LD document
+ from a compacted form, only one pass is required over the data.</dd>

+<h4><span class="secno">3.1.2 </span>The Context</h4>
+
+<p>In JSON-LD, a <dfn title="context" id="dfn-context">context</dfn> is used to map <a class="tref internalDFN" title="term" href="#dfn-term">term</a>s, i.e., properties with associated
+  values in an JSON document, to <a class="tref internalDFN" title="iri" href="#dfn-iri"><abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr></a>s. A <dfn title="term" id="dfn-term">term</dfn> is a short word that expands to an
+  <a class="tref internalDFN" title="iri" href="#dfn-iri"><abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr></a>. <a class="tref internalDFN" title="term" href="#dfn-term">Term</a>s <em class="rfc2119" title="may">may</em> be defined as any valid JSON <a class="tref internalDFN" title="string" href="#dfn-string">string</a> other
+  than a JSON-LD <a class="tref internalDFN" title="keyword" href="#dfn-keyword">keyword</a>. To avoid
+  forward-compatibility issues, <a class="tref internalDFN" title="term" href="#dfn-term">term</a>s starting with an <code>@</code> character <em class="rfc2119" title="should not">should not</em> be used
+  as they might be used as <a class="tref internalDFN" title="keyword" href="#dfn-keyword">keywords</a> in future versions of JSON-LD. Furthermore,
+  the use of empty terms (<code>&quot;&quot;</code>) is discouraged as not all programming languages are able to handle
+  empty property names.</p>
+<p>The Web uses <a class="tref internalDFN" title="iri" href="#dfn-iri">IRIs</a> for unambiguous identification. The
+  idea is that these <a class="tref internalDFN" title="term" href="#dfn-term">term</a>s mean something that may be of use to other developers and that it is useful to
+  give them an unambiguous identifier. That is, it is useful for <a class="tref internalDFN" title="term" href="#dfn-term">term</a>s to expand to IRIs so that
+  developers don't accidentally step on each other's <dfn title="vocabulary" id="dfn-vocabulary">vocabulary</dfn> terms. Furthermore, developers, and
+  machines, are able to use this <a class="tref internalDFN" title="iri" href="#dfn-iri"><abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr></a> (by plugging it directly into a web browser, for instance) to go to
+  the term and get a definition of what the term means. This mechanism is analogous to the way we can use
+  <a href="http://wordnet.princeton.edu/">WordNet</a> today to see the definition of words in the English language.
+  Developers and machines need the same sort of definition of terms. <a class="tref internalDFN" title="iri" href="#dfn-iri">IRIs</a> provide a way to
+  ensure that these terms are unambiguous. For example, the term <code>name</code> may
+  map directly to the <abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr> <code>http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name</code>. This allows JSON-LD documents to be constructed
+  using the common JSON practice of simple name/value pairs while ensuring that the data is useful outside of the
+  page, API or database in which it resides. The value of a term mapping
+  <em class="rfc2119" title="must">must</em> be either; 1) a simple string with the lexical form of an <a class="tref internalDFN" title="absolute_iri" href="#dfn-absolute_iri">absolute <abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr></a> or
+  2) <a class="tref internalDFN" title="compact_iri" href="#dfn-compact_iri">compact <abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr></a>, or 3) an <a class="tref internalDFN" title="json_object" href="#dfn-json_object">JSON object</a> containing an
+  <code>@id</code>, <code>@type</code>, <code>@language</code>, or <code>@container</code> keyword
+  (all other keywords are ignored by a JSON-LD processor).
+</p>
+
+<p>These Linked Data <a class="tref internalDFN" title="term" href="#dfn-term">term</a>s are typically collected in a
+context document that would look something like this:</p>

+
+<p>A JSON-LD author can express multiple values in a compact way by using
+  <a class="tref internalDFN" title="array" href="#dfn-array">array</a>s. Since graphs do not describe ordering for links
+  between nodes, arrays in JSON-LD do not provide an ordering of the
+  listed <a class="tref internalDFN" title="object" href="#dfn-object">objects</a> by default. This is exactly the opposite from regular JSON
+  arrays, which are ordered by default. For example, consider the following
+  simple document:</p>
+<div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 18</span></div><pre class="example">{
+...
+  &quot;@id&quot;: &quot;http://example.org/people#joebob&quot;,
+  &quot;nick&quot;: <span class="diff">[ &quot;joe&quot;, &quot;bob&quot;, &quot;jaybee&quot; ]</span>,
+...
+}</pre></div>
+
+<p>The markup shown above would result in three triples being generated,
+  each relating the subject to an individual <a class="tref internalDFN" title="json_object" href="#dfn-json_object">JSON object</a>, with no inherent order:</p>
+<div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 19</span></div><pre class="example">&lt;http://example.org/people#joebob&gt;
+   &lt;http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/nick&gt;
+      &quot;joe&quot; .
+&lt;http://example.org/people#joebob&gt;
+   &lt;http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/nick&gt;
+      &quot;bob&quot; .
+&lt;http://example.org/people#joebob&gt;
+   &lt;http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/nick&gt;
+      &quot;jaybee&quot; .</pre></div>
+
+<p>Multiple values may also be expressed using the expanded form:</p>
+
+<div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 20</span></div><pre class="example">{
+  &quot;@id&quot;: &quot;http://example.org/articles/8&quot;,
+  &quot;dc:title&quot;: <span class="diff">
+  [
+    {
+      &quot;@value&quot;: &quot;Das Kapital&quot;,

+    {
+      &quot;@value&quot;: &quot;Capital&quot;,
+      &quot;@language&quot;: &quot;en&quot;
+    }
+  ]</span>
+}</pre></div>
+
+<p>The markup shown above would generate the following triples, again with
+  no inherent order:</p>
+
+<div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 21</span></div><pre class="example">&lt;http://example.org/articles/8&gt;
+   &lt;http://purl.org/dc/terms/title&gt;

+&lt;http://example.org/articles/8&gt;
+   &lt;http://purl.org/dc/terms/title&gt;
+      &quot;Capital&quot;@en .</pre></div>
+
+
+<p>As the notion of ordered collections is rather important in data
+  modeling, it is useful to have specific language support. In JSON-LD,
+  a list may be represented using the <code>@list</code> <a class="tref internalDFN" title="keyword" href="#dfn-keyword">keyword</a> as follows:</p>
+<div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 22</span></div><pre class="example">{
+...

+    &quot;@list&quot;: [ &quot;joe&quot;, &quot;bob&quot;, &quot;jaybee&quot; ]
+  }</span>,
+...
+}</pre></div>
+
+<p>This describes the use of this <a class="tref internalDFN" title="array" href="#dfn-array">array</a> as being ordered,
+  and order is maintained when processing a document. If every use of a given multi-valued
+  property is a list, this may be abbreviated by setting <code>@container</code>
+  to <code>@list</code> in the <a class="tref internalDFN" title="context" href="#dfn-context">context</a>:</p>
+<div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 23</span></div><pre class="example">{

+
+<p>Similarly to <code>@list</code>, there exists the <a class="tref internalDFN" title="keyword" href="#dfn-keyword">keyword</a> <code>@set</code> to

+    <a class="tref internalDFN" title="term" href="#dfn-term">Term</a>s in <a class="tref internalDFN" title="linked_data" href="#dfn-linked_data">Linked Data</a> documents may draw from
+    a number of different <a class="tref internalDFN" title="vocabulary" href="#dfn-vocabulary">vocabularies</a>.
+    At times, declaring every single term that a document uses can require the
+    developer to declare tens, if not hundreds of potential
+    <a class="tref internalDFN" title="vocabulary" href="#dfn-vocabulary">vocabulary</a> <a class="tref internalDFN" title="term" href="#dfn-term">term</a>s that are used across an
+    application. This is a concern for at least two reasons: the
+    first is the cognitive load on the developer of remembering all of the
+    <a class="tref internalDFN" title="term" href="#dfn-term">term</a>s, and the second is the serialized size of the
+    <a class="tref internalDFN" title="context" href="#dfn-context">context</a> if it is specified inline. In order to address these issues,
+    the concept of a <a class="tref internalDFN" title="compact_iri" href="#dfn-compact_iri">compact <abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr></a> is introduced.</p>
+  <p>
+    A <dfn title="compact_iri" id="dfn-compact_iri">compact <abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr></dfn> is a way of expressing an <a class="tref internalDFN" title="iri" href="#dfn-iri"><abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr></a>
+    using a <em>prefix</em> and <em>suffix</em> separated by a colon (<code>:</code>) which is
+    similar to the <cite><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdfa-core/#s_curies">CURIE Syntax</a></cite>
+    in [<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-RDFA-CORE">RDFA-CORE</a></cite>]. The <dfn title="prefix" id="dfn-prefix">prefix</dfn> is a <a class="tref internalDFN" title="term" href="#dfn-term">term</a> taken from the
+    <a class="tref internalDFN" title="active_context" href="#dfn-active_context">active context</a> and is a short string identifying a
+    particular <a class="tref internalDFN" title="iri" href="#dfn-iri"><abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr></a> in a JSON-LD document.
+    For example, the prefix <code>foaf</code> may be used as a short
+    hand for the Friend-of-a-Friend vocabulary, which is identified using
+    the <abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr> <code>http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/</code>. A developer may append
+    any of the FOAF <a class="tref internalDFN" title="vocabulary" href="#dfn-vocabulary">vocabulary</a> terms to the end of the prefix
+    to specify a short-hand version of the <a class="tref internalDFN" title="absolute_iri" href="#dfn-absolute_iri">absolute <abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr></a> for the
+    <a class="tref internalDFN" title="vocabulary" href="#dfn-vocabulary">vocabulary</a> term. For example, <code>foaf:name</code> would
+    be expanded out to the <abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr> <code>http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name</code>.
+    Instead of having to remember and type out the entire <abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr>, the developer
+    can instead use the prefix in their JSON-LD markup.
+  </p>
+  <p>Terms are interpreted as <a class="tref internalDFN" title="compact_iri" href="#dfn-compact_iri">compact <abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr></a>s if they contain at least one
+    colon and the first colon is not followed by two slashes (<code>//</code>, as in
+    <code>http://example.com</code>). To generate the full <a class="tref internalDFN" title="iri" href="#dfn-iri"><abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr></a>,
+    the value is first split into a <em>prefix</em> and <em>suffix</em> at the first
+    occurrence of a colon (<code>:</code>). If the <a class="tref internalDFN" title="active_context" href="#dfn-active_context">active context</a>
+    contains a term mapping for <em>prefix</em>, an <abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr> is generated by
+    prepending the mapped <em>prefix</em> to the (possibly empty) <em>suffix</em>
+    using textual concatenation.  If no prefix mapping is defined, the value is interpreted
+    as an <a class="tref internalDFN" title="absolute_iri" href="#dfn-absolute_iri">absolute <abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr></a>. If the prefix is an underscore
+    (<code>_</code>), the <abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr> remains unchanged. This effectively means that every term
+    containing a colon will be interpreted by a JSON-LD processor as an <abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr>.
+  </p>
+  <p>Consider the following example:</p>
+  <div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 24</span></div><pre class="example">{
+  &quot;@context&quot;:
+  {
+    <span class="diff">&quot;dc&quot;: &quot;http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/&quot;,</span>

+  <p>
+    In this example, two different <a class="tref internalDFN" title="vocabulary" href="#dfn-vocabulary">vocabularies</a>

+  </p>
+  <p>It's also possible to use compact IRIs within the context as shown in the

+<h3><span class="secno">4.2 </span>Typed Values</h3>
+
+<p>
+  A value with an associated type, also known as a
+  <dfn title="typed_value" id="dfn-typed_value">typed value</dfn>, is indicated by associating a value with
+  an <a class="tref internalDFN" title="iri" href="#dfn-iri"><abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr></a> which indicates the value's type. Typed values may be
+  expressed in JSON-LD in two ways:
+</p>
+
+<ol>
+  <li>By utilizing the <code>@type</code> <a class="tref internalDFN" title="keyword" href="#dfn-keyword">keyword</a> when defining
+    a <a class="tref internalDFN" title="term" href="#dfn-term">term</a> within a <code>@context</code> section.</li>
+  <li>By utilizing the expanded form for specifying objects.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>The first example uses the <code>@type</code> keyword to associate a
+type with a particular <a class="tref internalDFN" title="term" href="#dfn-term">term</a> in the <code>@context</code>:</p>
+
+<div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 26</span></div><pre class="example">{
+  <span class="diff">&quot;@context&quot;:
+  {
+    &quot;modified&quot;:
+    {
+      &quot;@id&quot;: &quot;http://purl.org/dc/terms/modified&quot;,
+      &quot;@type&quot;: &quot;http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#dateTime&quot;
+    }
+  },</span>
+...
+  &quot;modified&quot;: &quot;2010-05-29T14:17:39+02:00&quot;,
+...
+}</pre></div>
+
+<p>The <em>modified</em> key's value above is automatically type coerced to a
+datetime value because of the information specified in the
+<code>@context</code>.</p>
+
+<p>The second example uses the expanded form of setting the type information
+in the body of a JSON-LD document:</p>
+
+<div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 27</span></div><pre class="example">{
+  &quot;@context&quot;:
+  {
+    &quot;modified&quot;:
+    {
+      &quot;@id&quot;: &quot;http://purl.org/dc/terms/modified&quot;
+    }
+  },
+...
+  &quot;modified&quot;:
+  <span class="diff">{
+    &quot;@value&quot;: &quot;2010-05-29T14:17:39+02:00&quot;,
+    &quot;@type&quot;: &quot;http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#dateTime&quot;
+  }</span>
+...
+}</pre></div>
+
+<p>Both examples above would generate an object with the value of
+<code>2010-05-29T14:17:39+02:00</code> and the type of
+<code>http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#dateTime</code>. Note that it is
+also possible to use a <a class="tref internalDFN" title="term" href="#dfn-term">term</a> or a <a class="tref internalDFN" title="compact_iri" href="#dfn-compact_iri">compact <abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr></a> to
+express the value of a type.</p>
+
+<div class="note"><div class="note-title"><span>Note</span></div><p class="">
+  The <code>@type</code> <a class="tref internalDFN" title="keyword" href="#dfn-keyword">keyword</a> is also used to associate a type with
+  a <a class="tref internalDFN" title="subject" href="#dfn-subject">subject</a>. Although the same keyword is used in both places,
+  the concept of an <em>object type</em> and a <em>value type</em>
+  are different. This is similar to object-oriented programming languages
+  where both scalar and structured types use the same class inheritance
+  mechanism, even though scalar types and structured types are
+  inherently different.

+
+<p>Ordinary JSON documents can be transformed into JSON-LD documents by referencing
+to an external JSON-LD <a class="tref internalDFN" title="context" href="#dfn-context">context</a> in an HTTP Link Header. Doing this
+allows JSON to be unambiguously machine-readable without requiring developers to
+drastically change their workflow and provides an upgrade path for existing
+infrastructure without breaking existing clients that rely on the <code>application/json</code>
+media type.
+</p>

+<p>
+In order to use an external context with an ordinary JSON document, an author
+<em class="rfc2119" title="must">must</em> specify an <a class="tref internalDFN" title="iri" href="#dfn-iri"><abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr></a> to a valid JSON-LD document in an HTTP Link
+Header [<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-RFC5988">RFC5988</a></cite>] using the <code>describedby</code> link relation.
+
+The referenced document <em class="rfc2119" title="must">must</em> have a top-level <a class="tref internalDFN" title="json_object" href="#dfn-json_object">JSON object</a>. The
+<code>@context</code> subtree within that object is added to the top-level
+<a class="tref internalDFN" title="json_object" href="#dfn-json_object">JSON object</a> of the referencing document. If an <a class="tref internalDFN" title="array" href="#dfn-array">array</a> is at the top-level of the
+referencing document and its items are <a class="tref internalDFN" title="json_object" href="#dfn-json_object">JSON objects</a>, the <code>@context</code>

+<p>JSON-LD supports the coercion of values to particular data types.
+Type <dfn title="coercion" id="dfn-coercion">coercion</dfn> allows someone deploying JSON-LD to coerce the incoming or

+<a class="tref internalDFN" title="term" href="#dfn-term">term</a>s. Using type coercion, value representation is preserved without requiring
+the data type to be specified with each piece of data.</p>
+
+<p>Type coercion is specified within an <a href="#expanded-term-definition">expanded term definition</a>
+  using the <code>@type</code> key. The value of this key represents a type <abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr> and <em class="rfc2119" title="must">must</em> take the form of

+
+<p><a class="tref internalDFN" title="term" href="#dfn-term">Terms</a> or <a class="tref internalDFN" title="compact_iri" href="#dfn-compact_iri">compact IRIs</a> used as the value of a

+<p>The JSON-LD API [<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-JSON-LD-API">JSON-LD-API</a></cite>] defines a method for <em>compacting</em> a JSON-LD document.

+
+<div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 50</span></div><pre class="example">[

+
+<p>Running the JSON-LD Compaction algorithm given the context supplied above

+The intent of the Working Group and the Editors of this specification is to
+eventually align terminology used in this document with the terminology used
+in the RDF Concepts document to the extent to which it makes sense to do so.
+In general, if there is an analogue to terminology used in this document in
+the RDF Concepts document, the preference is to use the terminology in the
+RDF Concepts document.
+</p></div>
+
+<p>JSON-LD is a specification for representing <a class="tref internalDFN" title="linked_data" href="#dfn-linked_data">Linked Data</a> in JSON. A common
+  way of working with Linked Data is through <dfn title="rdf" id="dfn-rdf">RDF</dfn>, the Resource Description Framework.
+  RDF can be expressed using JSON-LD by associating JSON-LD concepts such as <code>@id</code>
+  and <code>@type</code> with the equivalent <a class="tref internalDFN" title="iri" href="#dfn-iri"><abbr title="Internationalized Resource Identifier">IRI</abbr></a>s in RDF. Further information about
+  RDF may be found in the [<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-RDF-PRIMER">RDF-PRIMER</a></cite>].</p>
+
+<p>The JSON-LD markup examples below demonstrate how JSON-LD can be used to
+  express semantic data marked up in other languages and data models
+  such as RDF, Turtle, RDFa, Microformats,
+  and Microdata. These sections are merely provided as proof that JSON-LD is
+  very flexible in what it can express across different <a class="tref internalDFN" title="linked_data" href="#dfn-linked_data">Linked Data</a> approaches.
+  Further information on transforming JSON-LD into RDF are detailed in the
+  [<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-JSON-LD-API">JSON-LD-API</a></cite>].</p>

+  <p>The RDF data model, as outlined in [<cite><a class="bibref" rel="biblioentry" href="#bib-RDF-CONCEPTS">RDF-CONCEPTS</a></cite>], is an abstract

+  capable of serializing any RDF graph, and performing full RDF to
+  JSON-LD to RDF round-tripping. A complete description of how JSON-LD maps
+  to RDF and algorithms detailing how one can convert from RDF to
+  JSON-LD and from JSON-LD to RDF are included in the JSON-LD API
