Package Exports

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (agent-vocab) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Example Usage in JSON-LD

Here is an example of a JSON document using this vocabulary:

{
  "@context": {
    "@vocab": "https://w3id.org/agent#"
  },
  "@type": "Person",
  "@id": "https://example.org/people#jane_smith",
  "agent": [
    {
      "@type": "Agent",
      "@id": "https://example.org/agents#robot1",
      "name": "Kitchen Assistant"
    },
    {
      "@type": "Agent",
      "@id": "https://example.org/agents#robot2",
      "name": "Garden Helper"
    }
  ]
}

Explanation:

The @context specifies the vocabulary (https://w3id.org/agent#) and additional namespaces.
The @id is used to define the identifier of the entity (https://example.org/people#jane_smith).
The @type is used to define the type of entity (Person).
The agent property is used to link the person to the agents they own.

This makes JSON-LD highly flexible and suitable for building interoperable data models while maintaining backward compatibility.
