See [this post](http://manu.sporny.org/2014/json-ld-origins-2/) by one of the creators of the JSON-LD standard. Why do I think it makes sense to switch to JSON-LD? - It's a perfect match: A `@context` is a schema, period. - It's still JSON, no need to deal with crazy triples, turtles and sparqls - It's a good compromise between pragmatism and ivory-tower RDF. [If you want RDF you can transform it](http://json-ld.org/spec/latest/json-ld-rdf/)
