Re: PROV-ISSUE-620 (json-ld-service-description): Should PRIV-AQ bless use of JSON-LD for service description? [Accessing and Querying Provenance]

As a note, here is how the Open Annotation spec defines their JSON-LD
serialization:

http://www.openannotation.org/spec/future/publishing.html#Serialization

(note that the URL
http://www.w3.org/ns/openannotation/core/context-20130204.json does
not reference as this is still a community draft)

The general recommendation is that service descriptions are presented as RDF, though other formats are negotiable in keeping with REST principles.  JSON-LD would be a specific [presentation of RDF.
