RDF LOD export (a.k.a. Semantic Web)

[jmvanel]

I started mapping the inaturalist JSON to standard LOD vocabularies in this project, using the JSON-LD technique (see also https://json-ld.org/ ), which provides a LOD "reading grid" for the plain JSON data:
https://github.com/jmvanel/rdf-convert/tree/master/inaturalist.org

To make things smoother technically, there are a few things that you could do.

• The more annoying is that most id's in your JSON are integers; it would be more convenient for JSON-LD tools if they were strings.
• Also, you could add new JSON-LD keys in the API : @id , @type .
• After that, you could expose the JSON-LD side of your JSON URL's by one of the ways here:
  https://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld/#modifying-behavior-with-link-relationships
  or simply add an @context key in the JSON.

NOTES:

• I also wrote a similar JSON-LD context for GBIF API : https://github.com/jmvanel/rdf-convert/tree/master/gbif.org
• I also wrote a translator from GBIF Darwin Core archive to RDF (Turtle) : https://github.com/jmvanel/dwca-rdf
