In addition to a schema:webkey based relation that has a public key (in 
typed literal form) as its object. You can also have a schema:webkeyURL 
based relation which has a public key document URL as its object. Why is 
this useful? It enables an agent de-reference a public key in a variety 
of public key formats, thus just by knowing your schema:webid an agent 
can ultimately de-reference your public key.

Typical use case? Setting up ssh access for someone or some software 
agent [1].

virtues of denoting a public key with an HTTP URI.
