FWIW, I have been storing Linked Data (including ActivityPub) in an INI like format — because I find INI-like formats more human-friendly (to both read and write) than JSON.

YAML is probably better than JSON, too, in that respects. But I think INI-like formats are better than YAML.

The JSON-LD Working Group published today a First Public Working Draft of YAML-LD 1.0. [JSON-LD11] is a JSON-based format to serialize Linked Data. In recent years, [YAML] has emerged as a more concise format to represent information that had previously been serialized as [JSON], including API specifications, data schemas, and Linked Data.

CBOR-LD 1.0

"CBOR is a compact binary data serialization and messaging format. This specification defines CBOR-LD 1.0, a CBOR-based format to serialize Linked Data. The encoding is designed to leverage the existing JSON-LD ecosystem, which is deployed on hundreds of millions of systems today, to provide a compact serialization format for those seeking efficient encoding schemes for Linked Data. By utilizing semantic compression schemes, compression ratios in excess of 60% better than generalized compressi..."

📢 HMC FAIR Friday Seminar

More than a decade after the FAIR Principles were introduced, a key question remains:

👉 What value has FAIR actually delivered to researchers?

In this talk, Sebastian Hellmann and Jan Forberg explore the microeconomics of FAIR adoption and present open-source tools #Databus and #MOSS from the #DBpedia Association ecosystem.

Hacking the DROID Signature File for Characterization

by @beet_keeper

Identification of a format can be approached from many angles. Often a magic

number will be used at the beginning of a file. This may be strengthened by the addition of similarly consistent bytes at the end of a file or indeed any part of the bitstream inbetween. Using the sample file format we created last week the magic number to identify it is specified

YAML-LD brings the power of JSON-LD’s #LinkedData to YAML, using YAML’s more compact and expressive syntax #timetogiveinput #FPWD
▶️ https://www.w3.org/TR/yaml-ld-10/

The @w3c specification "YAML‑LD 1.0" offers more data types and flexible structure than #JSON, while ensuring compatibility with #JSONLD syntax, semantics, and #APIs.

PodOS Mar 5

Browsing your data using PodOS is great, but nothing compares to an app that is tailor-made for the task. That's why PodOS Brower now allows you to open a resource in another app. We also have some exciting new features for dashboards builders.
