Abstract

This vocabulary describes various small activities I like to log as an extension to ActivityStreams 2.0. I would expect them to present to a reader in aggregate over some time period.

Discussion

Notes about things considered when creating this vocabulary.

  • Things are fairly arbitrarily added as I decide I want to add them to my site. Deliberately short and simple.
  • These activities may not have objects because all they are for is notifications of aggregate things.

If I've missed something PR/issue welcome on github.

Consume

Tracking everything I eat.

Consume

A consume activity. Subclass of as:Activity. The object should be a list of URIs for foodstuffs, and the content should be a description thereof.

Acquire

Tracking things I acquire, usually through purchasing or gifting.

Acquire

An acquire activity. Subclass of as:Activity. The object should be a list of URIs for things acquired, and the name should be a description thereof. The content should be a description of what was acquired.

cost

The cost of something acquired as a literal, possibly including currency.

amountUsd

The cost of something acquired in USD.

amountEur

The cost of something acquired in EUR.

amountGbp

The cost of something acquired in GBP.

Sleep

Tracking sleep.

Sleep

A sleep activity. Subclass of as:Activity. Should have a startTime and endTime, or duration, or both.

Words

Motivated by using 750words and also wanting to track wordcounts for Nanowrimo and my thesis.

Write

A write activity. Subclass of as:Activity. May have an object of the document being written.

wordCount

The number of words being recorded.

Usage

This vocabulary is used by (and was initially developed for) my website, for storing my logs because I felt like it. Examples:

@prefix asext: <https://rhiaro.co.uk/terms/as#>
@prefix as: <https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#>
<> a asext:Consume, as:Activity ;
   as:published "" ;
   as:actor <https://rhiaro.co.uk/#me> ;
   as:content "Banana" ;
   as:tag <https://rhiaro.co.uk/tags/fruit> .

If you start using it for something or publishing your own logs somewhere using this, let me know or PR to add yours here.
