FunctionScript has a basic type system that’s a superset of JSON but there should be an overarching semantic system to it all. Feel free to e-mail me, keith@ (company domain) and introduce yourself if you’d like to chat about it. :)
I think you have to take a several pronged approach, because even then you can't solve a problem like this with tech alone, you need other things like education, collaboration, freedom, and protection from maligned interests. That's really hard to do, I think maybe SpaceX did something on a similar level for space and soon internet connections, but they don't have free and open tech due to profit motives, so it's not advancing the state of space tech overall, just the tech at SpaceX.
Probably, you need a large nonprofit foundation with billions of dollars to just buy it's way into the market to get something grand like that adopted.
I might email you, not sure I have the motivation for API building and chatting about APIs that you seem to, but I do like generalizing problems into the simplest forms.
This sounds similar to linked data formats like JSON-LD
