Is a Actor a Node or a Blank Node?

A Actor is a Node. Nodes are the fundamental items which store data. They are identified using a unique @id field. Blank Nodes are stored within them. An example of a Node is a Site which might describe an area of cropland, or a Term which describes an item in the food system.

What are the internal properties of a Actor?

The following properties are automatically set when data are uploaded to the HESTIA platform: @context, @id and @type. If they are included in an uploaded file, they will be overwritten.
