Mention explicitly that Link#name can also be a nameMap

Please Indicate One:

• Editorial
• Question
• Feedback
• Blocking Issue
• Non-Blocking Issue

Please Describe the Issue in https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-core:

• Link#name:

  • Whereas for Object there is explicit mention in ActivityStreams-core that you can use nameMap, in the section describing Link (par. 4.2), there is only mention of name, while the definition of name in Vocabulary states that nameMap property is valid for Links as well. Should mention that in core spec too, for clarity.

As an editorial issue, it would be better to explicitly mention this in the document, IMHO.

Will you make a concrete PR that adds the clarity you think would be better?

[aschrijver]

Yes, I could, however:

Pull requests will be accepted only if the
submitter is a current member of the W3C Social WG but
issues can be opened by anyone.

And I am not a member.

[gobengo]

The WG has wound down since a few months ago so I don't think you should pay attention to that.

Thanks. I made the changes (also reordered properties on Object definition to be alphabetically.

Based on this suggestion, in issue triage, we reviewed all the properties with domain Link in the vocabulary document. nameMap, preview, and attributedTo were all left out. To resolve this, I created an erratum for section 4.2 of core that gives the full list of properties for a Link, except href which is specified earlier in the paragraph.

The PR is here: #553

I'll try to get this included. We have a lot of ERRATA backed up!

This should also be added to the SocialCG agenda for next month.
