Description Data today is put through a lot – it may start out as a simple store of record, but most likely will be yanked out of the very database it calls home and piped through to an analytics dashboard or any other number of operational applications. You may not realize it until it's too late, but your data needs to cope with any number of unknown future situations. It needs “data therapy.”
And truth be told, if you are involved today in making data from one system useful to another system, you probably deal with your fair share of headaches. This talk will introduce a wonderful coping mechanism – for you and your data – to save time and frustration down the line: JSON-LD.
JSON-LD is a long-term solution to so many of the problems developers face when trying to collaborate around their data or share their data with other systems or users.
In this talk, we'll introduce you to the world of JSON-LD and how it can transform the way you work with data. We'll cover what JSON-LD is (hint: it stands for JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data), how it differs from traditional JSON, and why it's quickly becoming the go-to choice for formatting data that might need to be shared and used across multiple applications. Your future self will thank you for making the switch to JSON-LD. And so will your data.
Takeaways 1. JSON-LD is linked data for JSON 2. JSON-LD is familiar but powerful. It allows data to be re-used in different systems without many of the pains of schema translation 3. For developers collaborating around data or sharing it externally, JSON-LD is a perfect choice for the developer
