[uf-dev] JSON representation of semantic objects

[Kevin Marks]

Both those seriliazations look remarkably verbose. Why doesn't:

<div class="haudio">
   <span class="fn">Start Wearing Purple</span> by
   <span class="contributor">Gogol Bordello</span>
   found on
   <span class="album">Underdog World Strike</span>
</div>

just map to:

{"fn":"Start Wearing Purple", "contributor":"Gogol Bordello",
"album":"Underdog World Strike"}

instead of the multi-crufted:

{
   "_:haudio1" :
   {
      "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type" :
      [
         { "value" : "http://xmlns.com/haudio/1.0/Album", "type" : "uri"}
      ],
      "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/title" :
      [
         { "value" : "Start Wearing Purple", "type" : "literal", "lang" : "en" }
      ],
      "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/contributor" :
      [
         { "value" : "Gogol Bordello", "type" : "literal", "lang" : "en" }
      ],
      "http://xmlns.com/hmedia/1.0/contains" :
      [
         { "value" : "_:haudio2", "type" : "bnode" }
      ]
   },
   "_:haudio2" :
   {
      "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type" :
      [
         { "value" : "http://xmlns.com/haudio/1.0/Recording", "type" : "uri"}
      ],
      "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/title" :
      [
         { "value" : "Start Wearing Purple", "type" : "literal", "lang" : "en" }
      ],
      "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/contributor" :
      [
         { "value" : "Gogol Bordello", "type" : "literal", "lang" : "en" }
      ]
   }
}
