Should the formatted graph include more information on its context? #3

der: The current implementation also includes the "context" property (on
the RDF) which provides the name/uri mapping and inferred type information
for every property. See GoogleCode?. This enables round tripping for
well-behaved RDF. While round tripping is a non-goal at this stage
we-Epimorphics need a simple update version of the protocol and including
the context enables that. As a side effect the context also means that all
the available properties are communicated to the client.

JT: The disadvantage is that it can add a huge amount of weight to the JSON
representation, at least in its current form. Putting the information at
the metadata endpoint makes it accessible (for the purposes of
round-tripping) without having the repetitive burden in every single document.
