base media type

Definition

credential plus ld plus json.

Other media types of credentials are allowed by must provide either unidirectional or bidirectional transformations. So for example we would create credential+acdc+json and provide a unidirectional transformation to credential+ld+json.

We are going for credential plus acdc plus json without @context. The main objection to use @context is that it can change the meaning of a credential. The other way around: ACDCs will include W3C credentials.

Media types will be used to differentiate between types of credentials and verifiable credentials.
