Consistency on implementation JSON's properties needed for report generation

[shigeya]

For report generating purposes, we need to have at least:

• didMethod
• implementation
• implementer

Some of the JSON lacks didMethod.

A few thoughts.

1. I can update them by myself (I mean, not asking implementers to update), but we need to document this somewhere to avoid editing by ourselves.
2. We probably need both descriptive texts for implementer and the submitter's contact, maybe GitHub user id. I think it is not wise to bury GitHub user id into descriptive texts.
3. Implementation is a descriptive text. Some of them using the GitHub path; some of them include descriptive texts. Since this will appear as part of the test report, we may need to adjust texts to make the generated tables consistent.

I suggest we solve this by injecting defaults when they are not present.

and use the following defaults:

"didMethod": "UNKNOWN",
"implementation": "UNKNOWN",
"implementer": "UNKNOWN",

and then we can incrementally replace UNKNOWNs with reasonable values.

For the Universal Resolver reports, we always just use the string "Universal Resolver" as the "implementation" field (e.g. see here).

@BernhardFuchs maybe we should update our Universal Resolver reports to also include the DID method name in the "implementation" field, e.g. to say something like "Universal Resolver - did:example"

@peacekeeper I will probably make didMethod appear in the report, so adding that text in the implementation property causes duplicates (while it's fine..)

@shigeya We could easily add the property didMethod to the reports. My approach would be to parse it from the identifier.

Question is in which format the value should be:

• did:btcr or
• btcr

or any other idea?

Thank you.

I think did:btcr seems good. we can eliminate did: but then, the text is buried among the texts, hard to recognize.

@shigeya didMethod parameter is added #134
