v1.3.0

• STAM Translate - This extension (introduced in v1.2.0) got expanded to be much more powerful:
  • New translate() function.
  • Added example figures
• STAM Transpose
  • Minor rephrasing

v1.2.0

• STAM Core
  • Added Map type for data values. Arbitrary nested maps are now supported but should NOT be used as a substitute for annotations on annotations #34
  • Removed the constraint "Any String value that is a valid IRI SHOULD be interpreted as such in conversion from/to RDF", actual interpretation of IRIs vs string literals can now be delegated to the JSON-LD context.
• STAM Query Language
  • Added a . operator to get keys from maps (note that as an operator in STAMQL, is requires whitespace both left an right)
• STAM Web Annotations
  • Hierarchical structures can be mapped used the new Map type. Web Annotation targets and selectors that have no counterpart in STAM can now be encoded in this way.
  • JSON-LD context determines interpretation of IRIs vs string literals. The specification now makes clear how you can link to external resources using IRIs.
• STAM Translate
  • This is a minor new extension used to relate any texts, even if the text are not identical. It is a more generic and more limited form of the STAM transpositions.
