Thanks for your issue!
The field 'artifactOf' is deprecated since version 1.8.4. Is this issue still of interest?

[nicoweidner]

artifactOf is deprecated since a long time, but for some reason it was never removed. I'd say we close this for now, and potentially reopen if someone convinces us the tools should still be able to handle artifactOf.

@goneall Do you know why the property was never dropped, and whether anyone still uses it?

@nicoweidner I don't know why it hasn't been dropped, but it was deprecated on release 2.0 several years ago, so I doubt you will find very many documents still using this property. It is probably safe to drop it.

Closing this for the time being. If anyone really needs support for artifactOf, they will have to raise a new issue (or reopen this one)
