The key is in using the proper context when compacting. My own RDF Writer
interface to JSON-LD, takes the prefixes found on input and uses them to
automatically generate a context for the JSON-LD output. You can see it in
operation at
<http://rdf.greggkellogg.net/distiller?format=jsonld&in_fmt=turtle&uri=http://ktk.netlabs.org/misc/12099-shrink.ttl>,
although note that my service has been flaky lately due to something else
which is eating up memory on my VPS. It basically gives you what I think you
want:

You could also hand-build a context and use that for compaction.

You can use the ruby tools (gem install linkeddata) using the following:
rdf serialize http://ktk.netlabs.org/misc/12099-shrink.ttl --output-format
jsonld
