Right now, we have a PHP library that parse BibJSON files, and that
generate RDF from a "application/rdf+xml" linkage schema. However, BKN
choose *not* to do anything with the structure schemas for now because
of other priorities, so structure schemas exists in the spec, but are
not implemented in any parser yet.
So, the linkage schema are used as "transformation rules" between
BibJSON and another data format, and structure schema are used to
validate the structure of a BibJSON file according to its schema
definition (structure & data types).
You can get the code of the current irJSON & commON parsers from here:

Hope it helps,
Thanks!
