Hi Sarven, Phil, Rob,
Are there mediatypes that map to application/ld+json with a profile?
This begs the question why one would want to do that.
We're investigating to see what else is other than AS2 is making/stating
such equivalences:
application/activity+json and application/ld+json;
profile="http://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams";
To the best of my know knowledge, there aren't any.
While I wholeheartedly appreciate the discussion on whether that's a
good or bad idea, that wasn't at all my intention. [Aside: you are
welcome to dig into past Social Web WG's discussions/meetings to see my
strong position against the new mediatype.]
The investigation was towards Linked Data Notifications:
https://linkedresearch.org/ldn/
to see what it can mention in order to apply the robustness principle.
It is a step towards helping people design flexible systems that wish to
so they can be a bit more interoperable with other
communities/implementations. That's being pragmatic.
LDN is not inventing or proposing a new mediatype, it doesn't have a
need for it, nor there are any plans for it, neither promoting "non-LD
stuff". Lastly, LDN has already marked this as at risk and prepared to
hand it off to the Social Web Protocols.
https://github.com/csarven/ldn/issues/10 already addressed all this,
satisfied all commenters, and marked as closed:
