Re: Unexpected behavior regarding property-based indexing

Victor, this has been captured in https://github.com/w3c/json-ld-api/issues/514 <https://github.com/w3c/json-ld-api/issues/514> and raised as an Erratum but we haven’t determined a fix at this point.

The logic for compaction is colliding in the Term Selection algorithm, where it’s come up with a Compact IRI, but it expects an IRI.

Thanks for pointing it out, though.

But when I attempt to compact it again with the original context, I get the following error: jsonld.SyntaxError: Absolute IRI "schema:jobTitle" confused with prefix "schema". I tried on the JSON-LD playground [3] and with PyLD, for the same result.
