Great read, thank you. Also nice that you brought in RDF databases to help expand and refine the problem space. When I come across a graph database topic here at HN and it leads with an LPG approach, 99% of the time, there is hardly a men

The amazing part of about json-ld is you can make up your own terms when you have missing terminology! And, if you care enough, you can push for them in Schema.org and get them introduced.
