What's this about? Quote posts per Mastodon are a FEP: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/044f/fep-044f.md

Those terms do not exist in the ActivityStreams spec?

[reiver@mastodon.social]

@thisismissem

No. Not for quote-posts.

For quoting things from the books, scholarly papers, blog posts, videos, podcasts, etc.

@reiver @thisismissem instead of making up properties that don't exist in a namespace that you don't own, you should use something that someone else already defined properly within their own authority, or otherwise define stuff under your own authority.

for example: CITO is an ontology for citations http://purl.org/spar/cito

see also http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#Quotation or http://purl.org/spar/fabio/Quotation

[trwnh@mastodon.social]

@reiver @thisismissem but more importantly: before defining such terms, consider what you are actually trying to do with them practically. how do you intend to process them? what's the use case? which information do you need and why? ask yourself those questions first.

@trwnh @thisismissem

I already posted about that.

@reiver @trwnh @thisismissem The Activity Streams 2.0 Extension Policy covers some best practices for making extensions:

https://swicg.github.io/extensions-policy/#criteria

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@reiver @trwnh @thisismissem They're not long, so I'll list them here:

- A unique namespace, distinct from the Activity Streams 2.0 namespace.
- A JSON-LD context document at a permanent URL. Services like https://purl.archive.org/ and https://w3id.org/ can be used to provide permanent URLs.
- A document that describes the terms and usage of the extension.
- An intellectual property rights policy that is compatible with inclusion in a W3C specification.
