Issue #404 in the ActivityPub repository notes that AS2 requires
compaction of AS2 objects. This will change the full URL for the Public
collection, https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public, to the
compacted prefixed version as:Public. We use the longer version in a
number of examples, which is technically incorrect.
https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/404
To fix this error, after discussion in issue triage, I added the
following proposed errata for the ActivityPub specification:
* In Examples 6, 10, 15, 16 the public collection address should be
compacted to "as:Public".
* The Note in section 5.6 "Public Addressing" should read/Compacting
an ActivityStreams object using the ActivityStreams JSON-LD context
will result in "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public" being
represented as "as:Public". Publishers might erroneously produce
representations with the full URI or with the unprefixed value
"Public". To maximize interoperability, consumers can accept all
three representations./
This is a call for consensus on adding these errata to the main errata
page. After 14 days, if there are no objections, the changes to the
errata will be made, and additions to the editor's draft will also be added.
