JSON-LD: Motivation

Problem: Everybody uses different keys

JSON Dataset 1

{
    "c": 1.0
}

JSON Dataset 2

{
    "cap": 1.0
}

Do they mean the same?

JSON-LD: Mapping (1)

Idea: Map keys to common vocabularies like https://www.qudt.org/doc/DOC_VOCAB-QUANTITY-KINDS.html

JSON Dataset 1

{
    "@context": {
        "c": "http://qudt.org/vocab/quantitykind/Capacitance"  
    },
    "c": 1.0
}

JSON Dataset 2

{    
    "@context": {
        "cap": "http://qudt.org/vocab/quantitykind/Capacitance"  
    },
    "cap": 1.0
}

Do they mean the same? Yes!

JSON-LD: Mapping (2)

JSON-LD allows the definition of prefixes

{
    "@context": {
        "qudt": "http://qudt.org/vocab/quantitykind/",
        "cap": "qudt:Capacitance",        
    },
    "cap": 1.0
}

JSON-LD: Mapping (3) - Remote context

JSON-LD allows the import of context(s) from other JSON documents

Prefixes and mappings can be moved to a remote context

{
    "@context": [
        "http://myschema.org/allmyquantitites.jsonld"
        {
            "current": "qudt:Current",        
        }
    ],
    "cap": 1.0,
    "current": 10.0 
}

JSON-LD: Mapping (3) - Nested context

A property / the related subobject can have it's own context. The global context is inherited. Playground

{
  "@context": {
    "test": "http://test.org/",
    "id": "test:HasId",
    "name": "test:HasName",
    "subobject": {
      "@id": "test:HasSubobject",
      "@context": {
        "id": "test:HasSubId"
      }
    }
  },
  "name": "Test 1",
  "id": "1",
  "subobject": {
    "name": "Test 1.1",
    "id": "1.1"
  }
}

JSON-LD: Flatten a hierarchy

Playground

Input

  "@context": {
    "@version": 1.1,
    "@vocab": "http://example.org/"
  },
  "@id": "http://example.org/SM1",
  "@type": "Model",
  "contains": {
    "@id": "http://example.org/SM2",
    "@type": "Submodel",
    "contains": {
      "@id": "http://example.org/SM3",
      "@type": "Submodel",
      "contains": {

        "@type": "Submodel",
        "hasParameter": {
          "@id": "http://example.org/P2",
          "@type": "Parameter",
          "title": "P2",
          "value": 2
        },
        "title": "Submodel 4"
      },
      "hasParameter": {
        "@id": "http://example.org/P3",
        "@type": "Parameter",
        "title": "P3",
        "value": 3
      },
      "title": "Submodel 3"
    },
    "hasParameter": null,
    "title": "Submodel 2"
  },
  "hasParameter": {
    "@id": "http://example.org/P1",
    "@type": "Parameter",
    "title": "P1",
    "value": 1
  }
