Today I made this example in JSON-LD playground
http://tinyurl.com/obdj27a

It looks like schema.org @context really suffers from lack of many
{ "@type": "@id" } definitions

Just in this small example URIs for schema:member,
schema:subOrganization, schema:memberOf got interpreted as text. You can
find in expanded: { "@value": .. } instead of { "@id": ... } :(

Does lack of "@type": "@id" definitions relates to schema.org trying to
allow Text as value for almost all the properties? (all except *48*)

$ curl http://schema.org  -H "Accept: application/ld+json" | grep
'"@type": "@id"' | wc
48     240    2053

I also guess that recommendation of using schema:url instead of @id may
contribute to not carrying so much about usage of @id.

$ curl
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/sdo-gozer/data/examples.txt
| grep '"@id":' | wc
10      20     396

$ curl
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/sdo-gozer/data/examples.txt
| grep '"url":' | wc
50     100    2311

This way for arrays schema:url looks very clumsy and doesn't work well
with standard JSON-LD tooling.

      "memberOf": [
        "https://enspiral.com",
        "https://loomio.org"
      ]

Would become

      "memberOf": [
        { "url": "https://enspiral.com" },
        { "url": "https://loomio.org" }
      ]

Which to my understanding requires special schema.org specific
processing without having "url": "@id" in context.

I hope that I just miss some understanding here and one can process data
which uses schema.org vocabulary as regular JSON-LD.

Cheers!
