What do you think about JSON-LD language maps for "preferredUsername"?

I.e., preferredUsernameMap.

"preferredUsernameMap": {
"en": "hello",
"fa": "درود",
"ko": "안녕하세요"
}

@reiver I pretty much like it.

@reiver@mastodon.social considering that it's a new property as opposed to shoving different types (in this case, an object instead of a string) into an existing property, go nuts.

I don't have any support for language maps at the moment though <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://activitypub.space/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f613.png?v=4b02b730ff8" title="" />

I am asking the question because —

My understanding of JSON-LD (which could be mistaken) is that —

Because "preferredUsername" is (assumingly) a xsd:string, then "preferredUsernameMap" is automatically also valid.

(I.e., the *Map construct is a JSON-LD thing.)

.

[julian@activitypub.space]

@reiver@mastodon.social yes that makes sense.

But as someone whose software does not consume JSON-LD it is functionally meaningless to me currently

[reiver@mastodon.social]

@julian

Yeah, I did the same, too, initially.
Just treat is as JSON.

[trwnh@mastodon.social]

@reiver @julian the xMap properties are terms defined as "@/container": "@/language” terms inside the @/context document: https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams.jsonld

xsd: has nothing to do with it. "preferredUsernameMap" is not automatically valid; it needs to be defined.
