https://www.w3.org/wiki/Activity_Streams/Expanded_Vocabulary#Linking_Identities

This is a common use case that I've been stewing over also as part of
the extended vocabulary. Unfortunately there aren't any existing
*common* approaches to draw from as everyone seems to do it
differently. I've added the basic notes I've been compiling on it to
the wiki page. Essentially, we may be able to accomplish this with two
new object types and a new property.. i.e.

{
  "@type": "Claim",
  "actor": "acct:joe@example.org",
  "object": {
    "@type": "Identity",
    "displayName": "Joe"
  },
  "proof": {
    "@type": "urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:jwt",
    "@value": "{jwt-content}"
  }
}

* Claim is an Activity type, "actor claims ownership of object"
* Identity is an Actor type that is distinct from Person. The Person
type can become a subtype of Identity.
* proof is defined with domain=Claim and range=xsd:anyType. It
provides the proof of the claim. This can easily be a JWT token as
illustrated, but could be other things also.

This gives us a generalized pattern that allows us to claim more than
just identities but serves the basic purpose rather well.
