Just two questions: Are there examples how to transport the application name that had been used to create a post and how to transport the location (with name and geo coordinates)?

heluecht: to the first, the generator property
#

Is there some field where I could transmit that the activity had been created and transmitted via Friendica? "generator" seems to be only used for the object, not the activity.
#
heluecht[m]
Would "instrument" be the right field?

heluecht: yep

I think for maximum compatibility it might make sense to do the instrument for the activity and the generator for the object, because I could see an argument for why semantically one might make more sense over the other, but none that would be harmed by having both be specified
#
heluecht[m]
Yes.
#

According to the specs the generator is only valid for the object while the instrument is only valid for the activity. So I will do exactly this way.

But what are you thinking for display, the traditional "via xxx" tagline? Seems long to have version info in there IMHO
#

I see the service more like the user-agent in HTTP.
#
heluecht[m]
The generator is the one that is displayed.

Makes sense
#
heluecht[m]
It's good to haver this more detailled since it could help debugging.
#
rialtate[m]
Yeah. I will start doing the same.
