Is there a minor mistake in the Remove example?

[sfolsom]

Should this (

activitystreams/test/vocabulary-ex28-jsonld.json

Line 11 in 54a6723

"target": {

) be using the as:origin property rather than as:target?

See:

activitystreams/vocabulary/index.html

Line 1510 in 54a6723

<code>object</code>. If specified, the <code>origin</code>

.

It seems to be that origin ("from") would be more fitting than target ("to") for the Remove activity, and that example.

Remove object from location.

Add object from location to location.
Remove object from location.
Delete object from location.
Move object from location to location.

I came here to open exactly this issue. The description text is correct, but the Remove example was probably wrongly copy pasted from the Add example.

So, it seems like an error in the example code. The correct resolution is to add an erratum that says "target" should be "origin" in this example.

Unfortunately, ActivityPub defines the Remove activity to use "target". So, we will probably need to recommend that implementers support "origin" by default, and "target" as a fallback, regardless of the unfortunate illogic of it.
