> Sorry if these questions are asinine. It's just that the article bemoans the fact that this hasn't hit mainstream web development yet, to my mind, does nothing to encourage its use. They are not, those are good questions. The fact that you've been able to make and deliver successful products for years without knowing or worrying about RDF or JSON-LD should make you suspicious of JSON-LD and it's value proposition. I've been hearing about for years and yet the development world is pretty happy moving ahead without it. I've looked at RDF and JSON-LD some years back when designing a web API shrugged and ignored it. Now sure, it's nice. It's like having a car with chrome plated rims instead of regular rims. It's better, shinier, prettier but not enough for me to bother to spend time (money) to get it.
