link context/target vs Context/Target IRI #69

Closed hvdsomp closed 7 years ago

hvdsomp commented 7 years ago

It seems that @mnot is confident that RFC5988bis will become the law of the land some time soon. We should probably reflect that in our I-D by moving to "link context" and "link target" language instead of "context IRI" and ""target IRI". I used the following language to make that bridge in the "identifier" I-D:

This specification uses the terms "link context" and "link target" as defined in [I-D.nottingham-rfc5988bis]. These terms respectively correspond with "Context IRI" and "Target IRI" as used in [RFC5988]. Although defined as IRIs, in common scenarios they are also URIs.

sounds reasonable, and it definitely would be helpful to align terminology so that our spec is in line with RFC 5988bis.

afaict, @hvdsomp's latest proposals makes this terminology change throughout the draft, getting rid of the old RFC 5988 terminology. if that's the case, @hvdsomp, please feel free to close this issue.

Indeed, the new version of the I-D will use RFC5899bis terminology throughout. Its Terminology section will make the connection with the RFC5899 terminology. Closing.
