JSON-LD	.json-ld	An alternative JSON output based on the JSON-LD format for RDF.
RDF/XML	.rdf	The XML output is primarily based on RDF/XML format for RDF serialization but following the EDM XSD schema (the same schema is also used for data ingestion to Europeana).

JSON-LD stands for JSON for Linking Data and is one of the Linked Data formats that the Record API supports. The basic structure of the JSON-LD response is similar to the default JSON format of the Record API:

JSON-LD makes use of Internationalized Resource Identifiers, IRIs as property names. This ensures that each statement of a record matches a standard vocabulary. In Europeana's implementation the properties are qualified names (in the format of "namespace_prefix:property_name" such as "dc:creator") for the sake of brevity. In the normal JSON response we use non-standard camel case ("dcCreator") property names. In the JSON Section you can find the connections between our camelCase property names and the JSON-LD and RDF qualified names.
JSON-LD has a @context part, which links object properties in a JSON document to concepts in an ontology. In our JSON-LD this lists the used namespaces and their prefixes.
JSON-LD makes a distinction between values that are string literals from values that are other resources.
