+JSON-LD is "A JSON-based Serialization for Linked Data" (https://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld/) that RDFLib implements for RDF serialization.
+
+This file demonstrated some of the JSON-LD things you can do with RDFLib. Parsing & serializing so far. More to be added later.
+
+
+Parsing
+-------
+There are a number of "flavours" of JSON-LD - compact and verbose etc. RDFLib can parse all of these in a normal RDFLib way.
+
+
+Serialization
+-------------
+JSON-LD has a number of options for serialization - more than other RDF formats. For example, IRIs within JSON-LD can be compacted down to CURIES when a "context" statment is added to the JSON-LD data that maps identifiers - short codes - to IRIs and namespace IRIs like this:
+
+# here the short code "dcterms" is mapped to the IRI http://purl.org/dc/terms/ and "schema" to https://schema.org/, as per RDFLib's in-build namespace prefixes
+
+"@context": {
+    "dct": "http://purl.org/dc/terms/",
+    "schema": "https://schema.org/"
+}
