infinite love ⴳ<p>let's demo this with a simple case. say you want to `tag` something that is a `Movie` described by schema.org. the `Movie` declares that it has an `actor` who performed in it.</p><p>this is redefining the term `actor` as defined at the top-level by <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/activitystreams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>activitystreams</span></a> -- where `actor` means who performed an `Activity`, not who performed in a `Movie`.</p><p>if the activitystreams context was protected, then this would be a fatal error for any <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/jsonld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jsonld</span></a> validator. you cannot be sure which `actor` was meant!</p><p>3/?</p>
infinite love ⴳ<p>say you have a generic property whose range is relatively unbounded -- a grab-bag where anything goes. something like how `attachment` or `tag` are used in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/activitystreams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>activitystreams</span></a>. using multiple contexts at the top-level introduces a potential conflict in terms. you could reconcile any conflicts with a custom context, but that prevents reuse / understanding a more well-known context.</p><p>unfortunately, due to context propagation, terms defined earlier on can "leak" into the naively merged subgraph.</p><p>2/?</p>
