Re: JSON-LD Context

Tim,

you may indeed be right. As I said, my JSON-LD is fairly rusty… However, isn't it true that for this to work, we should also have a

"@vocab" : "http://www.w3.org/ns/oa#:,

set in the context file? That is what sets the "active context's vocabulary mapping", afaik.

Also, we should probably be consistent; the same change should be applied for all other properties where the value is one of several possible URI id-s.

Alternatively, the keywords @id or @vocab may be used as value to indicate that within the body of a JSON-LD document, a string value of a term coerced to @id or @vocab is to be interpreted as an IRI. The difference between @id and @vocab is how values are expanded to absolute IRIs. @vocab first tries to expand the value by interpreting it as term. If no matching term is found in the active context, it tries to expand it as compact IRI or absolute IRI if there's a colon in the value; otherwise, it will expand the value using the active context's vocabulary mapping, if present, or by interpreting it as relative IRI. Values coerced to @id in contrast are expanded as compact IRI or absolute IRI if a colon is present; otherwise, they are interpreted as relative IRI.***
