Since we've had previous discussion on the future of JSON formats for OSLC [1], some may be of interest in some recent W3C "Last Call"s being put out for JSON-LD syntax [2] and processing algorithms + API [3] specifications.

JSON-LD harmonizes the representation of Linked Data in JSON by describing a common JSON representation format for expressing directed graphs; mixing both Linked Data and non-Linked Data in a single document. The syntax is designed to not disturb already deployed systems running on JSON, but provide a smooth upgrade path from JSON to JSON-LD. It is primarily intended to be a way to use Linked Data in Web-based programming environments, to build interoperable Linked Data Web services, and to store Linked Data in JSON-based storage engines. JSON-LD is capable of serializing any RDF graph or dataset and most, but not all, JSON-LD documents can be directly transformed to RDF. Last Call: JSON-LD 1.0 Processing Algorithms and API 16 May 2013 The RDF Working Group has published a Last Call Working Draft of JSON-LD 1.0 Processing Algorithms and API. This specification defines an Application Programming Interface (API) and a set of algorithms for programmatic transformations of JSON-LD documents. Restructuring data according the defined transformations often dramatically simplifies its usage. Comments are welcome through 06 June. Learn more about the Semantic Web Activity.
