+ <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.
