jsld.org : Resources for Linked Data as JSON
As a company, Transmute is deeply committed to open standards and open
source software development. Not only does standardization accelerate
commercialization, but adhering to technical standards protects companies
— by ensuring a level of rigor and security agreed upon by technical and
industry experts, while mitigating the risks of vendor lock in.
Standards-compliant technologies that are open source expand upon these
benefits by engaging a community of developers to support, audit, abstract
and maintain them.
Transmute’s product relies heavily on a few foundational technologies. Some of these are emergent and just now in the process of being standardized (like decentralized identifiers or DIDs, verifiable credentials or VCs, and encrypted data vaults or EDVs); others, like JSON-LD, have been around for a while, already have established standards, but remain notably difficult to comprehend — hindering adoption in certain markets.
This is why we built jsld.org —to provide a strategic way to express data that facilitates big data analytics and actionable insights across disparate systems and spur an open source community that cares about bridging historic data silos. JSON-LD is a semantically aware data model that allows us to bridge across existing ontologies, which means we can then ask questions that span industries. This includes forecasting and other AI benefits.
The Transmute Team hopes this site helps demonstrate how to work with linked data using JSON and clarifies why it matters — filling a painful gap we encountered ourselves in existing technical specifications and industry white papers. We will continue to use this site as a lab, showcasing both technical demonstrations and business case studies related to linked data.
