+	<p>This specification discusses standard HTTP and RDF techniques and best practices that you 
+	should use, and anti-patterns you should avoid, when constructing clients and servers that 
+	read and write Linked Data.</p> 
+		<p>A special type of Linked Data Resource is a Container.  Containers are very useful 
+		in building application models.  For example, universities offer a collection of classes 
+		and have a collection of faculty members.  Each faculty member teaches a collection of courses, etc.  
+		This specification discusses how to work with Containers.  Resources can be added to containers in 
+		several ways. As a special case, members can both be created and added to a container by overloading 
+		the POST operation.  See <a href="#ldpr-5_4">5.4</a>.
+	</p>
+	<p>Another contribution of this specification is how to deal with large amounts of data.  
+	Depending on the server’s capabilities, a GET request on a Linked Data Platform Resource 
+	returns a set of pages and uses a convention to access any single page. See <a href="#ldpr-4_9">4.9</a>. </p>
+	<p>The intention of this document is to enable additional rules and layered groupings of rules as 
+	additional specifications.  The scope is intentionally narrow to provide a set of key rules for 
+	reading and writing Linked Data that most, if not all, other specifications will depend upon and 
+	implementations will support.
