I love It! JSON-LD is awesome! JSON-LD is more than SEO, you can build Web Component and Hypermedia APIs with it. bit.ly/3weft3t It compiles to RDFs that can be used for querying with SPARQL. It stands for linked data. Here is a playground to play and read with it, you can also sign it with Bitcoin in the this example: json-ld.org/playground/ There is also JSON-LD query language: json-rql.org/ It can also help with Semantic Interoperability the @context is designed to link to a vocabulary. There are hundreds of Types and Properties at Schema.org located here schema.org/docs/full.html There are tons of Linked Open Vocabularies that can be represented in JSON-LD Schema.org and FOAF are my favorite FOAF stands for Friend Of A Friend and it is designed to build a Social Network, under the hood Facebook is build on this technology and there is a major project going on at the core of the web to make Social Linked Data and open protocol. You can find out more here solidproject.org
Here is a resource to learn about all the different Linked Open Vocabularies you will Schema.org and FOAF there: lov.linkeddata.es/dataset/lov/
