Where is rdf:JSON specified? #353

Closed dr-shorthair closed 4 years ago

dr-shorthair commented 4 years ago

I see reference to it here: https://w3c.github.io/json-ld-syntax/#the-rdf-json-datatype but can't track down any mention in what I think are the relevant sections in the RDF or RDFS recs https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#section-Datatypes https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-schema/#ch_literal

This section is normative: https://w3c.github.io/json-ld-syntax/#the-rdf-json-datatype

But it seems to be somewhat irritating that rdf:JSON is specified in that document.

@dr-shorthair, as @akuckartz referred to, this datatype is defined by the JSON-LD specification. The RDF(S) namespaces are "controlled" by W3C, and not necessarily by a specific Working Group (which does not exist at the moment), so it is perfectly fine to add a new term to that namespace defined by another WG.

If and when an RDF WG is re-chartered by W3C, that may add that datatype to the core RDF specifications to make the reference documents complete. But that is sometimes into the future.

Ok - thanks.
