idk where to really put this (might turn into a blog post later or something). it’s what you might call a “hot take”, certainly a heterodox one to some parts of the broader #fediverse community. this is in response to recent discussion on “what do you want to see from AP/AS2 specs” (in context of wg rechartering) mostly devolving into people complaining about JSON-LD and extensibility, some even about namespacing in general (there was a suggestion to use UUID vocab terms. i’m not joking)

    @[email protected] And I always thought that this is some of the LD patterns that easily make sense: to globally identify each term used in your data by an IRI and to use the same IRI as a link to the term’s documentation. Apparently, I was wrong.

    OTOH, I get it when people don’t think they need (to understand) JSON-LD but I also think it is not too much to ask to follow community patterns by slapping a context link into your JSON.
