RDF was not designed for arbitrary graphs. It was specifically designed for resource descriptions on the Semantic Web. > reliance on the web infrastructure (IRI, DNS, web servers, ...) This is the whole point of RDF. It is what enables Linked Data. > I read the history of JSON-LD by one of its main author [1], and it does not originated in the RDF community. Not sure what you mean exactly, but here’s from http://manu.sporny.org/2014/json-ld-origins/: > JSON-LD started around late 2008 as the work on RDFa 1.0 was wrapping up. We were under pressure [...] to come up with a good way of programming against RDFa data. JSON-LD definitely was always an RDF serialization, created by people intimately familiar with RDF and the Semantic Web. |

Exactly. That's my exact point. So, now, my problem is other scholars asking "why don't you use our model X or Y based of RDF" when the only thing I care about is the graph part. And I don't use RDF because of the points I exposed earlier. I should I've put emphasis that I'm working in a given field (lexicography), and that the RDF issues I face may be irrelevant for some other use cases.
As for the JSON-LD origin I stand correct.
