[API] "Minimal form" unclear #11

Open RubenVerborgh opened 7 years ago

It is unclear what "minimal form" means; JSON-LD has an open-world assumption, where everybody is free to say as much or as little as they want about a topic.

I added this because most of the time, the minimal form is enough for applications, so we can reduce the amount of requests.

That's likely a good justification for its existence, but the question remains: what is minimal form?

From the explanation, I think it is a suggestion for which properties to include in a representation. However, I wouldn't call it "minimal" nor "form".
