Description

Please Indicate One:

Please Describe the Issue:

Activity Vocabulary Object only mentions name, but Activity Streams Object mentions both name and nameMap. The Activity Vocabulary name property shows an example where the property is named name (example 117) and one where it is named nameMap (example 118).

  1. Should the Activity Vocabulary Object specify that it has both name and nameMap instead of only name?
  2. If it is correct that Object has both of these properties, is name meant to always be xsd:string and nameMap meant to always be rdf:langString?

Research direction

Compare the Activity Vocabulary Object definition with the Activity Streams Object definition and review the linked name property examples 117 and 118. Trace how the specification defines name, nameMap, xsd:string, and rdf:langString, then document the discrepancy and update the relevant specification text once the intended property rules are confirmed.
