Convert Action

This is a Stencila extension of schema.org Action.

It represents format, encoding, packaging, or document-model conversion. In Stencila, rendering an executable document can be represented as an ExecuteAction followed by a ConvertAction, rather than as a separate render-specific action. In graphs, conversion actions are usually attached to the resource-flow edge that links the source to the converted result.
