OpenGovLD vs. Popolo - OpenGovLD/specs GitHub Wiki

• Both projects share many (most, if not all!) principles
• Both projects are united in the W3C Open Government Community Group
• Both projects are widely overlapping regarding JSON-LD based vocabularies, both are interested in a common vocabulary hosted by the W3C Open Government Community Group
• Popolo restricts itself to defining a vocabulary while OpenGovLD also defines an API (using Hydra and Linked Data Fragments)
• OpenGovLD restricts itself to JSON-LD while Popolo is also interested in JSON-LD but most current Popolo-users only support JSON

Summary: You can support or use Popolo and OpenGovLD at the same time !
