JSON-LD in the wild

Real world JSON-LD examples we can use for inspiration. Some of these examples may no longer be available, or have changed. The JSON displayed here may be truncated to keep the page readable, click on the link to get the complete JSON document. Note that some of the JSON-LD is not valid RDF, much of it has probably never been used by RDF clients such as triple stores.

I’ve highlighted some interesting features, such as use of the @reverse keyword, and ordering items in a list.

Stenolechia squamifera KANAZAWA ウロコホソハネキバガ 外観はS>rectivalvaに似ており,後翅が台形でなく徐々に細くなること,雄交尾器のvinculumの消失と短いaedeagusという点において共通しているが,雄の触角に密な微感覚毛を持つことで区別される.雄交尾器では,uncus腹面の変形した鱗粉と強く腹方に腕曲したaedeagusのsubzonal sheathにより,雌交尾器では,2つの大きな板状のsignaにより同定できる.九州と対馬に分布する.なお本文中には述べていないが,これらの産地のものとは雄交尾器に小さな違いが認められる個体が,本州と西表島で採集されている. Stenolechia rectivalva KANAZAWA シロホソハネキバガ 雄交尾器では,ほぼまっすぐなcostal armと少し骨化したgnathal lobeにより,雌交尾器では,帯状のsignumにより容易に同定できる.岐阜県上宝村新穂高温泉で6月に採集されている。岡田(1962)のコメツガチビキバガという不明種があるいはこの種かもしれない.参考のために,以下に外部形態に基づく日本産Stenolechia属6種の検索表を示す.1.後翅は先端に向って徐々に細くなり,肛(臀)角が不明瞭である…2-後翅はキバガ科の種で通常見られるように台形に近く,肛角が明瞭である…3 2.頭部の地色は白色がかったオーカー色(黄土色)で,暗色の小斑点を散在し,背面の多くの鱗粉は茶色の横帯を先端近くに持つ;中胸背板は前方に一対の暗色小斑を,後方に1個の大斑を有する;雄触角の鞭節は太く,全体に密な微小で直立した感覚毛を具える…squamifera KANAZAWA-頭部は白色で暗色の小斑点を欠き,背面の鱗粉は純白である;中胸背板は背面**に1個の暗色大斑を持つのみである;雄触角の鞭節は多少細く,前述のような直立した感覚毛を欠く…recrivalva KANAZAWA 3.小型の種で,前翅長は2.9-3.7mm;雄触角の鞭節は太く,まばらな微小で直立した感覚毛を具える…4-大型の種で,前翅長は4.2-5.9mm;雄触角の鞭節は細く,直立した感覚毛を欠く …5 4.前翅は黄色鱗粉を散布する;頭部背面は白色がかったオーカー色で,明瞭な斑点を欠く…bathrodyas MEYRICK-前翅は黄色鱗粉を欠く;頭部背面の地色は白色がかったオーカー色だが,明瞭な暗色小斑を持つ…Kodamai OKADA 5.頭部は白色で,数個の明瞭な暗色小斑を持つ;前翅の地色は灰色で,長さは4.5-5.9mm…robusta KANAZAWA-頭部はオーカー色で,多くは不明瞭な枯葉色の小斑を持つ;前翅の地色は灰色がかったオーカー色で,長さは4.2-5.0mm…notmochla MEYRICK"

Embedded

CiNii web pages have JSON-LD for articles embedded in the HTML, e.g. https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1390282680241132288

  • ⚠️ Note the lack of @id.

  • ⚠️ Note the identifier is a made up type DOI.

  • ⚠️ publication is used to store the name of the journal, whereas schema.org expects this to be an instance of PublicationEvent.

Encyclopedia of Life (EOL)

An earlier version of EOL supported JSON-LD via their API (trait bank). They had JSON-LD for taxa, and for “collections” (user-created lists of species).

ISSN

The ISSN Portal supports linked data, for example https://portal.issn.org/resource/ISSN/2589-3831?format=json returns JSON-LD.

  • ⚠️ The JSON-LD is broken as there is no URI for the actual ISSN. The RDF/XML and Turtle formats declare @base <http://issn.org/> so the URI becomes, for example, http://issn.org/resource/ISSN/2589-3831.

NC State University Libraries

JSON-LD is embedded in the <body> of the web page using <script type=“application/ld+json”>, and also there is a link in the IIIF manifest. For example, for A Taxonomic Study of the Leafhopper Genus Empoasca (Homoptera: Cicadellidae) in Eastern Peru, (Technical Bulletin 272), Jul. 1982 the IIIF manifest for the viewer is https://d.lib.ncsu.edu/collections/catalog/ua101_001_301497_20220613_35703/manifest. At the end of the manifest is:

    "seeAlso": [
        {
            "@id": "https://d.lib.ncsu.edu/collections/catalog/oai?identifier=ncsul%2Fua101_001_301497_20220613_35703&metadataPrefix=oai_dc&verb=GetRecord",
            "format": "text/xml",
            "label": "Dublin Core XML via OAI-PMH"
        },
        {
            "@id": "https://d.lib.ncsu.edu/collections/catalog/ua101_001_301497_20220613_35703/schemaorg.json",

            "profile": "https://schema.org",
            "label": "Schema.org metadata as JSON-LD"
        }
    ]

The URL https://d.lib.ncsu.edu/collections/catalog/ua101_001_301483_20220606_35533/schemaorg.json resolves to the JSON-LD below. It is “typical” library metadata, that is, lacks the author so the creator is the institution, the keywords are generic, there is no volume or pagination, etc.

SciGraph

SciGraph uses JSON-LD as the canonical representation of their data. It can be retrieved by content-negotiation.

curl -L http://scigraph.springernature.com/pub.10.1007/s00606-016-1316-4.json

  • ⚠️ Unlike, say, OUP, SciGraph doesn’t nest schema:isPartOf relations when linking an article to the issue, volume, and periodical.
  • :warning: The SciGraph JSON-LD treats authors as an ordered list, which you can see from their context:
        "author": {
            "@id": "schema:author",
            "@container": "@list"
        },

RDF has no built-in notion of order, so this is achieved using rdfs:lists. See http://www.snee.com/bobdc.blog/2014/04/rdf-lists-and-sparql.html and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17523804/is-it-possible-to-get-the-position-of-an-element-in-an-rdf-collection-in-sparql/17530689#17530689 for more discussion. If you look at the ntriples version of the SciGraph RDF (e.g., s00606-016-1316-4.nt) you will see that the value for schema:author is a blank node (bnode), and that this bnode has two predicates, rdf:first and rdf:rest. One points to an author, the other points to another bnode. This pattern repeats until we encounter a value of rdf:nil for rdf:rest.

alt text

So to store an ordered list of authors we create a singly-linked list in RDF.

    "description": "Gamochaeta (tribe Gnaphalieae, Asteraceae) is composed of ca. 60 species primarily distributed in tropical and subtropical America. Within the tribe Gnaphalieae, the genus is characterized by capitula arranged in spikes or head-like clusters, few hermaphroditic central florets, truncate style branches with apical sweeping trichomes, pappus bristles connate at the base into a ring falling as a unit, and achenes with globose twin trichomes. Previous molecular phylogenetic studies have suggested the paraphyly of the genus, but have not provided a basis for redefining generic limits due to incomplete taxon sampling. To address this problem, DNA sequences from the plastid (trnL-F) and nuclear (ETS and ITS) genomes were analyzed from a broad taxon sample representing the full range of morphological variation known in the genus. Our results affirm that Gamochaeta is paraphyletic as presently circumscribed. Two clades can be recognized: one clade that includes the majority of the species currently assigned to Gamochaeta and a second clade that includes Gamochaetopsis, Stuckertiella and seven species of Gamochaeta. We present here a new circumscription of Gamochaeta, including two new combinations, Gamochaeta alpina and Gamochaeta peregrina, and the resurrection of Gamochaeta capitata. Our results also show Omalotheca supina, O. norvegica and O. sylvatica, which were placed by some authors in Gamochaeta or in Gnaphalium, form a monophyletic group distantly related to both genera.",
