Please Describe the Issue:

Proposal

One of the following:

  • endpoints should have "@container": "@id" defined, in order to declare its keys as IRIs.
  • endpoints should have "@container": "@nest" defined, in order to declare its nesting as semantically irrelevant.

Motivation

The semantics of endpoints are not fully captured at present. Are they properties of the actor which are shared server-wide, or are they an ID map? https://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld11/#node-identifier-indexing

(Tangentially, I am unsure if "@type": "@id" is appropriate on those endpoints, given that it seems to specifically signal node identifiers, and the endpoints are not nodes on a graph, they are endpoints. Perhaps something like xsd:anyURI or leaving it as the default @value? I might be wrong on this, unsure.)

Is endpoints an ActivityStreams property? I thought it was defined in ActivityPub. If so, this is the wrong repo for this issue

it's in the activitystreams context .jsonld, so i assumed this would be right repo. my apologies
