A handy JSON-LD context for Solid

A handy JSON-LD context for Solid

This module contains a JSON-LD context for use with Solid apps and libraries.

This is not “the” Solid context (there is no such thing), but rather a useful one for your projects.
For example, LDflex for Solid relies on this module.

Usage

You can require the context:

const context = require('@solid/context');

Or import it:

import context from '@solid/context';

Or refer to the file:

const context = require('@solid/context/context.json');

Installation

npm install @solid/context

solid-context's Issues

UI ontology should be added

With forms and other UI elements using the UI ontology, it would be nice to add it as a top-level context, at least, so we can use this context in our code.

Could we auto-generate this context file directly from the authoritative vocabs themselves...?

This is a very interesting idea (that I hadn't considered before) - but I think the LIT (which is not yet open-sourced) could be used very easily to provide this handy module directly from the authoritative vocabs themselves (rather than being hand-crafted and maintained, which I assume is currently being done here). The LIT already supports the important notion of being able to 'cherry-pick' terms from vocabs (which is being done here already, for example in the selection of specific terms from ActivityStreams, but is kinda crucial when you start picking terms from Schema.org's almost 2,000 terms (last time I checked!)).

@NSeydoux perhaps this could be added to our list of 'things-to-do' for the LIT...?

Some aliases in context.json are western-centric

Looking through the aliases for predicates in context.json, it was pointed out to me that some of them are specific to western audiences. For example, foaf:givenName being aliased as "firstName" is not very internationalization-friendly.
