@amcewen yeah, it's not too hard once you work out what `@context` is doing. That said, that's probably where my current bug lies.
The "which BIT" and the - as I call it - #LinkedData conundrum, I addressed recently in a #SocialHub topic on the #JSONLD vs plain #JSON nature of #ActivityPub. Inspired to write a long and personal #SocialExperience tale on my travels in wild #fedi lands. See..

The #EU @ngi #grant programs and the hard work of @nlnet to distribute @EUCommission Horizon Europe #funding has done wonders to take #fediverse where it stands today. In my article I list all the many #FOSS projects that received stimulus and support during the years.
However something fundamental has been lacking in the mandate on who is eligible. Coding is Social. The support does not cover the rich tapestry of #expertise that end-to-end #solutions need during their lifecycle. Does not include fostering cohesive #technology ecosystems, healthy #OpenStandards evolution.
Effectively this creates a 'handover point' of software code from poor FOSS to others who earn a living with it.
A sad day indeed. I have had a lotta fun with #XSLT in the past, long ago when working for the larges Print company in the #EU (today due to internet et al, it went bankrupt, broken up).
Most fun was a single (complex, yes) stylesheet that created the #HTML UI form for creation and editing of any #XML + #XMLSchema thrown at it, to allow subsequent update of itself.
