Markdown YAML-LD Codeblocks¶

Author: Michael Vorburger.ch
Status: Idea

Abstract¶

As an extension of Markdown YAML-LD Frontmatter, we propose that YAML-LD also be extracted from code blocks.

Description¶

For example:

---
"@context": https://enola.dev/spec.jsonld
$id: https://example.org/spec1
$type: enola:Spec

author: https://www.vorburger.ch
---

# Heading...

Let's define more stuff:

` ` `yaml-ld
author: https://example.org/YOU
` ` `

and also separately:

` ` `yaml-ld
/spec2:
  author: https://example.org/THEY

becomes the following RDF, if written as TTL:

@prefix enola:   <https://enola.dev/>.
@prefix schema:  <https://schema.org/>.
@prefix example: <https://example.org/>.

example:spec1 a enola:Spec;
  schema:author <https://www.vorburger.ch>, <https://example.org/YOU>.

example:spec2
  schema:author <https://example.org/THEY>.

Implementations¶

Enola.dev’s Loader may implement this.

References¶

We are not aware of any existing tools permitting mixing Markdown, YAML and RDF this conveniently.
