I'd definitely like to keep the implementation of whatever formats we use in Gaia given that this is still an experimental feature and the use cases are likely to evolve as we get user feedback. It seems to me that given that our use case here, beyond OG, is only our internal content, I.e. Gaia.

This thread has been fun to follow. There are only 2 hard problems in Comp Sci and naming things is one of them ;). Just wanted to quickly chip in: during our lively discussion about naming, let’s not forget Postel’s Law. It’s smart to debate which format we should encourage for _publishing_.

This. I don't want to lose Jonas' point in this long thread, but I also haven't read anything here that warrants new native parser(s) yet. Let's iterate in Gaia for now. I don't see how a C++ metadata parser is advantageous at this point, and the RDF history lessons certainly don't encourage that

Great discussion and feedback in this thread - plenty to act on. Thanks Ted Clancy for kicking this off with an impassioned reality check. And Thanks in particular to Benjamin Francis for summarizing product requirements and use-cases, and especially to both Ted and Ben taking the time last week

Let me start by saying I don't care which format we use. (Formats come, and formats go.) I do care, however, that my use case is supported. My use case, speech enabling web apps and web pages for Firefox OS's voice assistant Vaani, requires that the chosen format support something akin to
