Service context consistency across APIs #2117

Open azaroth42 opened 2 years ago

azaroth42 commented 2 years ago

The various APIs will frequently refer to each other, as seen with the Presentation and Image API contexts. To avoid embedding references to contexts everywhere, JSON-LD 1.1 lets us use scoped contexts at these transition points. The Auth API is in the same position of being referenced from service within the Presentation and Image APIs.

e.g. in Auth2, the equivalent example for https://iiif.io/api/auth/1.0/#example-description-resource-with-authentication-services

Does not need to have the embedded @context, as Image3 already knows about Auth1 and can be made to know about Auth2.

However, it seems like there could be a common baseline for service (and, id, type and label whereby they're updated once, rather than everywhere? Along with a common annex document for things like section 4 of the Presentation API v3?

Is this actually a Presentation 4 issue, to be solved then?
