[openbiblio-dev] JISC openbib update

[Richard Jones]

Hi Folks,

This afternoon we've been looking at RDF-JSON and JSON-LD to compare and 
contrast the formats.  We thought it appropriate to use BibJSON as the 
source format since we are also interested in using that in BibServer.

You can see the post here

http://openbiblio.net/2011/05/04/comparative-serialisation-of-rdf-in-json/

The serialisation of JSON-LD rests on an interpretation of a part of the 
spec (compare section 3.1 with section 8.2) which was unclear to us, so 
any feedback on that would be useful.

Cheers,

Richard
