The example cited uses this fake/made up JSON-LD Context: https://w3id.org/cryptocurrencies/v1 Which, I assume, would alias "USD" to a URI of some sort. So, yes, Melvin - you are correct. That said, the approach for Flex decouples what you can store in the ledger from the data model for the ledger itself. So, you can store transactions in any way that you want. One ledger might choose to store financial transactions where the currency is a URI. Another ledger might choose to store financial transactions where the currency MUST be an ISO currency code. The bottom line w/ Flex is that the decision is an application-specific one and is out of the hands of the ledger data model itself (which is not the way most of the ledgers in operation today work). -- manu -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny, G+: +Manu Sporny) Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: The Web Browser API Incubation Anti-Pattern http://manu.sporny.org/2016/browser-api-incubation-antipattern/
