It sounds like what you're describing is very similar to Hydra[1], which builds upon JSON-LD[2], which builds upon schema.org.

JSON-LD provides a vocabulary (schema) for linking various documents together, so you can for example link a blog post document directly to its author. Hydra then provides a vocabulary that lets you describe how to fetch that author document, what fields are required to create a new author object, and how to update the blog post to instead link to that new author. In this case, both "author" and "blog post" can be their respective schema.org documents.

My thought was Hydra when I read the suggestion as well. As Ivan Goncharov mentions JSON-LD in his blog post, I find it a perfect match.
