I have no idea what this thing is. Just signed up to park my name.

heh, well parking your name doesn't really mean anything because there are instances on domains all over the place and you're certainly not going to register on each one! Tho now that I think about it, you should be able to use your own domain for this: https://www.drupal.org/project/activitypub

Apparently @aaronpk really wanted to follow… 😉

hahaha sorry! Your instance did things sliiiightly different than others, so I was having to test my code in production, which resulted in sending you a lot of these!

And, hey, if you look at my blog (http://code.sgo.to) you'll probably paint me a knowledge graph kind of person. That is, I probably have an unbiased agenda, but I don't think knowledge graph technologies should be applied to every single problem in the world (e.g. this).

Can confirm.

I wrote a significant part of the processing pipeline (10 years ago, likely replaced) as well as the schemas that are used in search (also 10 years ago, but likely still used) and we wouldn't know the difference between JSON and JSON-LD.

I reviewed the spec, imo it's a custom JWT format squatting on the branding and work of the W3C... That doesn't mean it's not a great solution to the use case though... It relies on HL7/FHIR for semantics... So it doesn't really need any extensibility model.

yeah I guess that's one way to put it.

Back to the original point though, I would argue that 99.9% of of those examples in the crawl also do not rely on the extensibility model of JSON-LD.

You can implement many "token" schemes without using JSON-LD... If we're really just talking about rebranding tokens to credentials to appeal to a broader base, you don't need a standard to do that imo... You need a marketing department :)

They took all the good parts of Verifiable Credentials and turned it into the SmartHealth spec! https://spec.smarthealth.cards Notice you never need to bring in any JSON-LD library or deal with namespaces or canonicalization, yet it's completely decentralized!

@aaronpk There is a movement towards decentralization and openness the value is increasing by demand.

I mean, you don't have to convince me of decentralization and openness. I'm not even tweeting this on twitter, it's coming from my own website, one of many decentralized nodes on the internet.

Your point is it's easy to adopt JSON-LD without understanding its value, and a lot of people have done this?... Are you saying it's a bad thing people adopt things they don't understand? If you're are at IETF let's chat IRL.

and yes, I'm at IETF! Let's chat!

I'm saying the LD is irrelevant when most publishers and consumers are ignoring it. It's great the JSON-LD looks mostly like JSON, but IMO the LD part adds very little value.

fwiw I was able to implement vaccine QR code VCs without dealing with the LD part too!

https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/da-jsonld

yeah my point stands. The vast majority of publishers publishing JSON-LD on their websites for Google to consume care approximately 0% about the LD part of the JSON-LD, and frankly care about 1% about the JSON part. They just want Google to read the website.

JOSE supports authenticity and intention, and is used to power most consumer and enterprise identity. 44% of all websites rely on JSON-LD. Both problems have been solved independently. W3C Verifiable Credentials leverage the best solutions for both problems.

That's quite a claim. Are you talking about the JSON-LD that Google recommends people publish for their rich snippets and such? Because I guarantee you about 99.9% of that is treating it as plain JSON.

Great! @aaronpk would probably know more about the state of things here.

Mastodon actually uses rel=me to show a "verified" badge on links on your profile!

This is also definitely in line with RelMeAuth, and what I implemented on https://indielogin.com, but as an authentication service, not just informational.
