+          For a number of application areas the size of JSON-LD content is an obstacle. Size constraints may occur
+          when storing data as a QR or in a barcode, transmitting data over low bandwidth channels, or when relying
+          on high volume data storages. These problems are not only significant for existing applications but are also

+          <a href="https://cbor.io/spec.html">CBOR</a> (which has a large user and tool base already), can exploit 
+          the linked data features of JSON-LD, and provide a high level, and easily reversible compression of
+          JSON-LD data. The work on CBOR-LD has already begun in the <a href="https://www.w3.org/community/json-ld/">JSON

           The hope of this new more inclusively focused JSON-LD WG is to meet the demand of the broader
           JSON-LD community by strengthening the foundational JSON-LD specifications and aligning it with the latest
           RDF 1.2 specifications, growing the family of JSON-LD related formats which orbit around the JSON-LD
