Chairs, when logged in, may publish draft and final reports. Please see report requirements.
The JSON for Linking Data Community Group has published the final report for YAML (YAML Ain’t Markup Language). YAML-LD is fully consistent with JSON-LD and YAML-LD documents can be used with JSON-LD Contexts or visa-versa.
The JSON-LD CG expects that YAML-LD will be picked up by the JSON-LD Working Group for eventual publication as a W3C Recommendation.
The JSON for Linking Data Community Group has released the first draft of RDF-star graphs including extensions to the Expansion, Compaction, Flatting, From RDF, and To RDF algorithms.
JSON-LD-star allows both embedded nodes to represent statements about links in a linked data graph, similar to the way that Labeled-Property Graphs can have attributes on links.
For example:
![](/cats-d8c4vu/www.w3.org/community/json-ld/" method="get" id="adminbarsearch"><input class="adminbar-input" name="s" id="adminbar-search" type="text" value="" maxlength="150" /><label for="adminbar-search" class="screen-reader-text">Search</label><input type="submit" class="adminbar-button" value="Search" /></form></div></li></ul> </div>

<div class="intro">
<p>JSON-LD (JavaScript Object Notation for Linking Data) is a lightweight Linked Data format that gives your data context. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based on the already successful JSON format and provides a way to help JSON data interoperate at Web-scale. If you are already familiar with JSON, writing JSON-LD is very easy. These properties make JSON-LD an ideal Linked Data interchange language for JavaScript environments, Web service, and unstructured databases such as CouchDB and MongoDB.</p>
