+          For a number of application areas, the size of JSON-LD content is an obstacle. Size constraints may be
+          encountered when storing data as a QR or in a barcode, transmitting data over low bandwidth channels, or when relying
+          on high volume data storage. These constraints are not only significant for existing applications, but are also
+          obstacles when enabling new application areas (e.g., in embedded systems). CBOR-LD, based on 
+          <a href="https://cbor.io/spec.html">CBOR</a> (which already has a large user and tool base), can exploit 
+          the linked data features of JSON-LD, and provide a high level and easily reversible compression of
+          JSON-LD data. Work on CBOR-LD has begun in the <a href="https://www.w3.org/community/json-ld/">JSON 
+          for Linking Data Community Group</a>, and will be finalized by the JSON-LD Working Group.
