Re: JSON-LD (Was:Re: Vaccination Certificate Test Suite)

David – I wasn’t saying anything about VC’s.  I was simply providing the text from the JSON-LD standard, on which VC’s are based.

Certainly, if you are building a solution on top of VC (which is, itself, on top of JSON-LD), you are welcome to adopt whatever features of the core standard you wish.

The OCA work of Human Colossus has a much better way of signalling language and value layers on top of a base schema without burdening the actual VC with these. Once a VC is issued it is fixed, so how do you handle a new language?
