Re: Casting literals as IRIs

Hi all,

Markus, thank you for the solution, and Dietrich, thank you for implying an
explanation.

However, I wonder if it's not possible to coerce objects as IRIs (
http://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld/#h3_type-coercion) *and* compact the property
IRI in a single operation of the JSON-LD API.

Currently, I understand I need to do the following to coerce objects as
IRIs and compact the property IRI.

Starting with this JSON-LD:

{
  "@id": "http://mynarz.net/#jindrich",
  "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/knows": [
    "http://ruben.verborgh.org/#me",
    "http://richard.cyganiak.de/foaf.rdf#cygri"
  ]
}

I need to jam this @context in:

{
  "@context": {
    "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/knows": {
      "@type": "@id"
    }
  }
}

Then I can expand (http://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld-api/#expansion) the JSON-LD
and compact (http://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld-api/#compaction) the result of
expansion with the following @context if compact IRIs are desired:

{
  "@context": {
    "foaf": "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/"
  }
}

Is that a correct approach?
