Allow relative IRIs for @vocab
Benjamin Young: w3c/json-ld-syntax#72
syntax - w3c/json-ld-syntax#114
api - #58
Gregg Kellogg: when we decided to satisfy the need for using the base as the @vocab,
… I came up with the idea of using an empty string as @vocab.
… When I implemented it, what I ended up doing was resolve @vocab as a relative URI against the base.
… So why not allow that in the spec…
Ivan Herman: ship it! :-)
Gregg Kellogg: It is uncontroversial, as it does not change past behaviour.
… Now you can simply use @vocab: “#”, to use relative URIs everywhere.
Rob Sanderson: –> w3c/json-ld-syntax#72 (comment)
Rob Sanderson: is this the issue we discussed this during TPAC?
… if you set vocab to ../# and you had example.org/ns then you get example.org/ns../#
Gregg Kellogg: I have to improve the text to indicate when standard URI resolution is used, and when string concatenation is used
