      This primer provides an introduction to Linked Data Platform (LDP), including the basic concepts 
      of LDP including Linked Data Platform Resource (LDPR) and Linked Data Platform Container (LDPC) 
      and their affordances, and a running example showing how an LDP client can interact with a LDP server 
      in the context of read-write Linked Data application i.e. how to HTTP for accessing, updating, 
      creating and deleting resources from servers that expose their resources as Linked Data.
    </section>
    
    <section id='sotd'>
    <p>
        This is the first draft of LDP Primer Note of W3C LDP WG.
    </p>
    </section>

    <section id="intro-section">
	<h1 id="intro">Introduction</h1>

<p>
Linked Data is a universal approach for handling data which fundamentally includes the notion linking between data items. Much like the Web is giant network of interlinked documents for a human reader, the graph of Linked Data resources in the Web is a data layer on top of which applications are delivered, information is modified, processed, visualized and shared. LDP therefore specifies a protocol for the reading and writing of Linked Data. 
</p>
<p>
The LDP 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 resources. The Primer aims to provide introductory examples and guidance in the use of the LDP protocol. For a systematic account the reader should consult the normative LDP reference [[LDP]]. For an overview of the use cases for LDP and the elicited requirements that guided its design, the reader should consult the LDP Use Cases and Requirements [[LDP-UCR]] and for best practises and guidelines, the reader should consult the LDP LDP Best Practices and Guidelines document [[LDP-BP]]. 
</p>
    	
    <b id="conventions">Conventions Used in This Document</b>

    <p>The examples in this guide are given as a serialization of RDF graphs using the Turtle [[TURTLE]] and JSON-LD [[JSON-LD]] syntaxes of RDF.</p>

	<div class="syntaxmenu">
	<p>The buttons below can be used to show or hide the available syntaxes.</p>
	<form><p>
      <input id="hide-ts" onclick="display('turtle', 'none'); set_display_by_id('hide-ts', 'none'); set_display_by_id('show-ts', ''); return false;" type="button" value="Hide Turtle Syntax" />
      <input id="show-ts" onclick="display('turtle', ''); set_display_by_id('hide-ts', ''); set_display_by_id('show-ts', 'none'); return false;" style="display:none" type="button" value="Show Turtle Syntax" />

    <h2>LDP concepts in a glance</h2>

<p> 
A server hosting LDPRs may manage two kinds of LDPRs, those resources who whose state is represented using RDF called LDP RDF Sources (LDP-RS) and those using other formats called LDP Non-RDF Source (LDP-NR) such as html files, images, other binary files,  etc. </p>
</p>
<p>
  <img src="images/resources.png" />
</p>
<p>
LDP-RS are sources of RDF triples. These Resource and their descriptions are discovered and processed by following links. The links between the Resources and associated affordances together specify what might be termed the API. The description obtained might focus on specific entity or it might be more general. A common pattern is where one resource is be made up of a number of others, e.g. a Document Store consists of Documents, a BugTracker consists of Bugs, a PhotoAlbum consists of Photos, a Networth of a person consists of Assets and Liabilities. As a convenience, the URLs of these Resource may reflect this hierachy.  
</p>
<p>
The LDP protocols covers read and write interactions with Resources. Writable aspects include updates (using PATCH) and deletion of resources. 
</p>
<p>
Likewise, Resource creation is an essential feature providing structured creation of resources. Affordances published by the server show that some Resources can be used to create other Resources. This special kind of Resource is a Container (LDPC), and this is able to respond to requests to create new resources. During creation the created resource is appended to its Container and a containment link between the Container and the new entry is made. 
</p> 
<p>
A LDPC is a specialization of a LDP-RS representing a collection of links to LDPRs or information resources [[WEBARCH]] that responds to client requests for creation, modification, and/or enumeration of its linked members and documents. The simplest container is the Basic Container (LDP-BC). It defines the basic containment described using generic vocabularly. This can be used in a generic storage service to manage a containment hierarchy of resources.  
</p>
<figure id="fig-bc">
  <img src="images/bc.png" alt=".." />
  <figcaption>Generic document storage using a Basic Container.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>
Such servers do not impose any restriction on LDPRs and generally act as storage systems without any domain 
specific application logic and vocabularies. The document storage system in the first example of the primer falls into this category. 
</p>
<p>
A Direct Container allows to use some domain specific vocabulary to relate the resources of the hierarchy. The additional assertion is called the membership property.
</p>
<figure id="fig-dc1">
  <img src="images/dc1.png" alt=".." />
  <figcaption>Using domain vocabularly with a Direct container.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>
Direct Containers can also use domain specific vocabulary and link from a resource other than the Container resource to the new resource.
</p>

  <img src="images/dc_photos.png" alt=".." />

<p>
Different facets of a Resource can be managed using multiple Containers. 
</p>

  <figcaption>Managing multiple facets of a Bug with two Direct Containers.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>
  Existing applications with their own data model and business logic can expose their data using the LDP specification. These systems impose restrictions on LDPRs since the LDP interaction should be compliant with the underlying 
    business logic and data model. The bug tracker example presented in the latter part of the primer is an example of an application specific LDP server.
</p>
     
<p class="note"> Formal definitions of two terms LDPR and LDPC and other concepts introduced by LDP can be found in the 'Terminology' section of the Linked Data Platform 1.0 specification [[LDP]] </p>
    
<!--
   <p> A FOAF document file of a person that could be a good example of an LDP-RDF Source. When creating LDP-RSs, it is recommended that they reuse 
   existing vocabularies instead of inventing their own duplicate vocabulary terms. It is also recommended that LDP-RSs have at least one rdf:type set explicitly to 
   make the representations more useful to client applications that don’t support inferencing. For example, a FOAF file of a person as shown in Example 1 can be a LDP-RSs
   if it conforms to lifecycle patterns and conventions in defined in LDP Specification. Following the LDP Best Practices and Guidelines [[LDP-BP]], it uses terms from Dublin Core 
   [[DC-TERMS]], Friend of a Friend [[FOAF]] vocabularies.

    <p> An avatar image of a person hosted in the same LDP server could be an example of an LDP-NR.  These non-RDF resources also conform to the lifecycle patterns and 
    conventions defined in the LDP specification that are applicable to all LDPRs including non-RDF LDPRs such as  they must have an Etags, and must support HEAD, OPTIONS 
    operations.
    
 
	<p> Linked Data Platform Container (LDPC) is a specialization of an LDPR. An LDPC is a collection of same-subject, same-predicate triples which is uniquely identified by 
   a URI that responds to client requests for creation, modification, and enumeration of its members. For example, may be a person wants to keep information about her friends 
   organized as a collection of documents about those friends. This collection acts as an enumeration of links to existing documents that contain information about her friends 
   and also can be used to create documents about new friends when necessary. Example 2 shows an example of an LDP Container.

   <p>
   There are three different types of LDP Containers defined in the LDP specification: Basic Containers, Direct Containers, and Indirect Containers. Example 2 shows the 
   most simplest type that is LDP Basic Container. The other types of containers will be explained later in the primer.
   </p>	
   
	<p>	
		Elements of the collection of which are denoted by ldp:contains predicate shows the information documents contained by the LDP Container. These elements does not have to 
      be LDPRs. Any HTTP resource can be contained in an LDPC. For example,

	<p>
		Use cases [[LDP-UCR]] that motivated LDP specification varies from just publishing a dataset as Linked Data with advanced features as pagination, 
		providing read/write access to using Linked Data for application integration. The Linked Data Platform Use Cases and Requirements document provides 
		a more detailed information on the use cases that motivated the LDP specification. 
	</p>									
    <p>There are several categories of systems implementing the LDP specification. Two main categories of LDP servers include:</p>
    <dl class="glossary">
	<dt>Generic / vanilla LDP servers</dt>
	<dd>RDF storage systems that allow interacting with their resources by means of the LDP specification. These servers do not impose any restriction on LDPRs and generally act as storage systems without any domain 
	specific application logic and vocabularies. The document storage system in the first example of the primer falls into this category. </dd>
    <dt>Application specific LDP severs </dt>
    <dd>Existing applications with their own data model and business logic exposing their data using the LDP specification. These systems impose restrictions on LDPRs since the LDP interaction should be compliant with the underlying

    	<h1>Online document store example (LDP Basics)</h1>
    	
    <p> Section 2 and Section 3 provide a set of examples to show the Linked Data Platform interactions. Note, this is a primer and should not be considered as a canonical example of ideal LDP modeling. </p>	
    
    <p>
   This section provides a set of examples of using an online document store application. These examples will
   demonstrate the behaviour of LDPRs including both LDR-RSs (which have RDF representations) and LDP-NRs (which do not have RDF representations such as binary resources) and LDP Basic Containers.	    
	
   When one registers in the document store application, she will get some data storage space (a root Basic Container) where she can store all sorts of web resources that are supported by 
   Linked Data Platform such as RDF resources (LDP-RS) and binary resources (LDP-NR). Using this root Basic Container she can create new documents and also child containers to 
   organize these documents. 
   </p>
   
   <p> APIs of web applications are often documented by through listing valid operations operating on URLs described as templates. A RESTful API for an online document store example might be described as follows: </p>
    
   <table class="simple">
		<thead>
			<th>Path</th>
			<th>Method</th>
			<th>Description</th>
		</thead>
		<tbody>
			<tr>
				<td rowspan="5">/{username}/</td>
				<td>GET</td>
				<td>Lists all the documents in the root container. </td>		
			</tr>
			<tr>
				<td>POST</td>
				<td>Create a new document under the root container.</td>		
			</tr>
			<tr>
				<td>PUT</td>
				<td>Update the description and/or list of files of the root container.</td>		
			</tr>
			<tr>
				<td>PATCH</td>
				<td>Update the description and/or list of files of the root container.</td>		
			</tr>
			<tr>
				<td>DELETE</td>
				<td>Not allowed.</td>		
			</tr>
			<tr>
				<td  class="col1" rowspan="5"><div class='code'>/{username}/{document*}/</div></td>
				<td>GET</td>
				<td>Retrive the document.</td>		
			</tr>
			<tr>
				<td>POST</td>
				<td>Not allowed</td>		
			</tr>
			<tr>
				<td>PUT</td>
				<td>Update the document.</td>		
			</tr>
			<tr>
				<td>PATCH</td>
				<td>Partial update to the document if PATCH is supported.</td>		
			</tr>
			<tr>
				<td>DELETE</td>
				<td>Delete the project description and associated bug reports.</td>		
			</tr>
			<tr>
				<td rowspan="2"><div class='code'>/*/*</div></td>
				<td>OPTIONS</td>
				<td>Discover the allowed operations over a resource</td>		
			</tr>
			<tr>
				<td>HEAD</td>
				<td>Only retrieve metainformation about a resource</td>		
			</tr>
		</tbody>
	</table>
   
   <p class="note"> In the above API description, {document*} is considered a non-Container. The child containers such as /{username}/{ldpc}/ or /{username}/**/{ldpc}/ behave similar to the root container
   /{username}/ except for that fact, deleting those child containers are allowed. </p>
   
   In this example, we will see how Alice, a user of this system, manages the read / write document storage using the LDP protocol.
   	
   <p>First, Alice registers in the system and she is given a space that she can store her documents (She could use LDP protocol to register herself by POSTing to a container of users 
   but that is out of scope of this example). When she registers she is informed the starting point URL to manage her documents, a basic container, http://data.example.org/alice/. </p>

    <h1>Bug Tracker Example (LDP Direct containers)</h1>
        
   <p> The previous section provided practical examples of basic LDP interactions. One thing to note the example
   was using LDP Basic Containers. One of the limitations of LDP Basic Containers is that it only uses LDP 
   vocabulary. However, there are scenarios where the applications want to use their own domain specific vocabulary
   for listing members of a container. For example, an application which already had its own vocabulary would like 
   continue using the same vocabulary when using LDP protocol. LDP Direct containers allow the domain-specific 
   vocabulary to be used when listing members in a container. </p>
   
   <p> In addition to using the domain-specific vocabularies, in some applications would like to represent 
   relationships other than the containment relationship of information resources within the containers. One example is 
   that information resources contains relationship about non-information resources or real world things. LDP Indirect 
   Containers allows the containers use these relations when new resources are created.

    The examples in this section will revolve around a very simple Bug Tracker application. Bug Tracker application records 
    the bugs of several products allowing reporting, updating and deleting bugs and products. In contrast to the online document store example, the bug tracker wants to use a simple domain vocabulary
    , e.g. has_bug or related, to express membership relationships in the containers. LDP provides the additional interaction capability in the protocol to perform dynamic evolution of knowledge representation.
	</p>
	
	<p>RESTful APIs are often documented by through listing valid operations operating on URLs described as templates. A RESTful API for a simple Bug Tracker system might be described as follows:</p>

	<h2>Navigation and Retreival</h2>
	
	<p> One of the main use cases of the example bug tracker is to list of the bugs of a given product. Assuming 
		that a user got a URL of a product by out of band means, one can look it up to get more information including 
		the bugs associated with it.</p>
	
				<p>To get the description of the product, a client can do a GET request on the URI of the known product resource. LDPR 
					servers should provide text/turtle representations of the requested LDPRs and may provide RDF format representations
					using standard HTTP content negotiation.   </p>
				<pre class="example" title="Product lookup request"
				data-include='product_lookup_req.txt' data-oninclude='fixCode'></pre>
				<p>If the product resource is available, the server responds with the representation of the resource using the requested media type,
					<code>text/turtle</code> in this case.</p>
                    <pre title="HTTP response for product lookup" class='example' data-include='product_lookup_resp.txt' data-oninclude='fixCode'></pre>				

	<p>The project description resource contains both information about the project such as the title and the information about members of the product LDPC, i.e. the bugs associated with the product. This example uses an LDP Direct Container allowing the application to use domain specific vocabulary in the container. For example, it manages
-	the (&lt;?productURI&gt;, bt:hasbug, &lt;?bugURI&gt;) relationship using the application-specific vocabulary. The next example illustrates the behaviour of LDP Direct containers when new resources
-	are created. </p>
-	
-	
-	
-	<!-- <p>Looking up a bug is similar to looking up a product. Based on links in the representation of the Product, the client uses GET to navigate to a known Bug resource.</p>

				<pre class="example" title="Bug lookup request" 
					data-include='bug_look_up_req.txt' data-oninclude='fixCode'></pre>
				<p>The server responds with the representation of the bug.</p>
                                <pre title="Bug lookup response"
					class='example' data-include='bug_look_up_resp.txt'
					data-oninclude='fixCode'></pre -->			

	</section>
		
	<section>
	<h3 id="BugCreate">Creation</h3>
	<p>Continuing from the previous example, we can report a Bug against 'product1' by creating a Bug LDPR under the 'Product' LDPC. The client POSTs a representation of a Bug to the Bug Tracker LDPC. </p>
	
				<p>The client POSTs a representation of a Bug to the Bug Tracker LDPC.</p>
                <pre title="A request for creating a bug"
					class='example' data-include='bug_create_req.txt'
					data-oninclude='fixCode'></pre>	
				<p>If the create is successful, the server responds with location of the newly created resource.</p>
                <pre title="A response of creating new a bug"
					class='example' data-oninclude='fixCode'>
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Location: /app/product1/67
Content-Length: 0 					
					</pre>				


				<p>If the creation fails, the server will respond with an appropriate status code depending on the error. 
					After the resource is creation, the Product A LDPC will have the following representation.</p>
				<pre title="The state of the product LDPC after the bug creation"
					class='example' data-include='bug_create_s1.txt'
					data-oninclude='fixCode'></pre>

				<p>And the created Bug resource will have the following representation. Note that server has added a 
					server managed property, creation date (dcterms:created), and a default value for the state (bt:isInState) 
					to the Bug in addition to what was being POSTed.</p>
				<pre title="The state of the bug LDPR"
					class='example' data-include='bug_create_s2.txt'
					data-oninclude='fixCode'></pre>						

	</section>
	
	<section>
	<h3 id="BugDelete">Deletion</h3>
				<pre class="example">
 DELETE /app/product1/bug3 HTTP/1.1 
 Host: example.org
				</pre>
				<p>If the update is successful, the server will respond with a success status and a new etag.</p>
				<pre class="example">

		<h1>Security</h1>
      <p> It is not the focus of the Linked Data Platform WG to provide security mechanisms for read/write Linked Data applications. Though most of the security mechanisms that are applicable to 
      general web applications are equally applicable to Linked Data applications, there is still some space to build security mechanisms specific to Linked Data applications by leverage the Linked Data
      technologies and providing concrete security requirements of Linked Data applications. In this context, LDP WG has started to create a WG note on Access Control which aims to produce use cases for 
      security scenarios of LDP applications that can be used as the input to later initiative that will be focused on developing standard security mechanisms for LDP applications.  </p>

    This primer provides an introduction to Linked Data Platform (LDP), including the basic concepts of LDP including Linked Data Platform Resource (LDPR) and Linked Data Platform Container (LDPC) and their affordances, and a running example showing how an LDP client can interact with a LDP server in the context of read-write Linked Data application i.e. how to HTTP for accessing, updating, creating and deleting resources from servers that expose their resources as Linked Data.
  </section>

  <section id='sotd'>

    <h1 id="intro">Introduction</h1>

    <p>
      Linked Data is a universal approach for handling data which fundamentally includes the notion of linking between data items. Much like the Web is giant network of interlinked documents for a human reader, the graph of Linked Data resources in the Web is a data layer on top of which applications are delivered, information is modified, processed, visualized and shared. LDP specifies a protocol for the reading and writing of Linked Data.
    </p>
    <p>
      The LDP 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 resources. The Primer aims to provide introductory examples and guidance in the use of the LDP protocol. For a systematic account the reader should consult the normative LDP reference [[LDP]]. For an overview of the use cases for LDP and the elicited requirements that guided its design, the reader should consult the LDP Use Cases and Requirements [[LDP-UCR]] and for best practises and guidelines, the reader should consult the LDP LDP Best Practices and Guidelines document [[LDP-BP]].

    <h2>LDP concepts in a glance</h2>

    <p>
      A server hosting LDPRs may manage two kinds of LDPRs, those resources who whose state is represented using RDF called LDP RDF Sources (LDP-RS) and those using other formats called LDP Non-RDF Source (LDP-NR) such as html files, images, other binary files, etc.</p>
    </p>
    <p>
      <img src="images/resources.png" />
    </p>
    <p>
      LDP-RS are sources of RDF triples. These Resource and their descriptions are discovered and processed by following links. The links between the Resources and associated affordances together specify what might be termed the API. The description obtained might focus on specific entity or it might be more general. A common pattern is where one resource is be made up of a number of others, e.g. a Document Store consists of Documents, a BugTracker consists of Bugs, a PhotoAlbum consists of Photos, a Networth of a person consists of Assets and Liabilities. As a convenience, the URLs of these Resource may reflect this hierachy.
    </p>
    <p>
      The LDP protocols covers read and write interactions with Resources. Writable aspects include updates (using PATCH) and deletion of resources.
    </p>
    <p>
      Likewise, Resource creation is an essential feature providing structured creation of resources. Affordances published by the server show that some Resources can be used to create other Resources. This special kind of Resource is a Container (LDPC), and this is able to respond to requests to create new resources. During creation the created resource is appended to its Container and a containment link between the Container and the new entry is made.
    </p>
    <p>
      A LDPC is a specialization of a LDP-RS representing a collection of links to LDPRs or information resources [[WEBARCH]] that responds to client requests for creation, modification, and/or enumeration of its linked members and documents. The simplest container is the Basic Container (LDP-BC). It defines the basic containment described using generic vocabularly. This can be used in a generic storage service to manage a containment hierarchy of resources.
    </p>

      <img src="images/bc.png" alt=".." />
      <figcaption>Generic document storage using a Basic Container.</figcaption>
    </figure>
    <p>
      Such servers do not impose any restriction on LDPRs and generally act as storage systems without any domain specific application logic and vocabularies. The document storage system in the first example of the primer falls into this category.
    </p>
    <p>
      A Direct Container allows to use some domain specific vocabulary to relate the resources of the hierarchy. The additional assertion is called the membership property.

      <img src="images/dc1.png" alt=".." />
      <figcaption>Using domain vocabularly with a Direct container.</figcaption>
    </figure>
    <p>
      Direct Containers can also use domain specific vocabulary and link from a resource other than the Container resource to the new resource.

    <p>
      Different facets of a Resource can be managed using multiple Containers.

    </figure>
    <p>
      Existing applications with their own data model and business logic can expose their data using the LDP specification. These systems impose restrictions on LDPRs since the LDP interaction should be compliant with the underlying business logic and data model. The bug tracker example presented in the latter part of the primer is an example of an application specific LDP server.

   <p> A FOAF document file of a person that could be a good example of an LDP-RDF Source. When creating LDP-RSs, it is recommended that they reuse 
   existing vocabularies instead of inventing their own duplicate vocabulary terms. It is also recommended that LDP-RSs have at least one rdf:type set explicitly to 
   make the representations more useful to client applications that don’t support inferencing. For example, a FOAF file of a person as shown in Example 1 can be a LDP-RSs
   if it conforms to lifecycle patterns and conventions in defined in LDP Specification. Following the LDP Best Practices and Guidelines [[LDP-BP]], it uses terms from Dublin Core 
   [[DC-TERMS]], Friend of a Friend [[FOAF]] vocabularies.

    <p> An avatar image of a person hosted in the same LDP server could be an example of an LDP-NR.  These non-RDF resources also conform to the lifecycle patterns and

    operations.
    
 
  <p> Linked Data Platform Container (LDPC) is a specialization of an LDPR. An LDPC is a collection of same-subject, same-predicate triples which is uniquely identified by 
   a URI that responds to client requests for creation, modification, and enumeration of its members. For example, may be a person wants to keep information about her friends 
   organized as a collection of documents about those friends. This collection acts as an enumeration of links to existing documents that contain information about her friends 
   and also can be used to create documents about new friends when necessary. Example 2 shows an example of an LDP Container.

   There are three different types of LDP Containers defined in the LDP specification: Basic Containers, Direct Containers, and Indirect Containers. Example 2 shows the

  <p> 
    Elements of the collection of which are denoted by ldp:contains predicate shows the information documents contained by the LDP Container. These elements does not have to

    Use cases [[LDP-UCR]] that motivated LDP specification varies from just publishing a dataset as Linked Data with advanced features as pagination, 
    providing read/write access to using Linked Data for application integration. The Linked Data Platform Use Cases and Requirements document provides 
    a more detailed information on the use cases that motivated the LDP specification. 
  </p>                  
    <p>There are several categories of systems implementing the LDP specification. Two main categories of LDP servers include:</p>
    <dl class="glossary">
  <dt>Generic / vanilla LDP servers</dt>
  <dd>RDF storage systems that allow interacting with their resources by means of the LDP specification. These servers do not impose any restriction on LDPRs and generally act as storage systems without any domain 
  specific application logic and vocabularies. The document storage system in the first example of the primer falls into this category. </dd>
    <dt>Application specific LDP severs </dt>
    <dd>Existing applications with their own data model and business logic exposing their data using the LDP specification. These systems impose restrictions on LDPRs since the LDP interaction should be compliant with the underlying 
    business logic and data model. The bug tracker example presented in the latter part of the primer is an example of an application specific LDP server.</dd>

    <h1>Online document store example (LDP Basics)</h1>

    <p>
      This section provides a set of examples of using an online document store application. These examples will demonstrate the behaviour of LDPRs including both LDR-RSs (which have RDF representations) and LDP-NRs (which do not have RDF representations such as binary resources) and LDP Basic Containers. When one registers in the document store application, she will get some data storage space (a root Basic Container) where she can store all sorts of web resources that are supported by Linked Data Platform such as RDF resources (LDP-RS) and binary resources (LDP-NR). Using this root Basic Container she can create new documents and also child containers to further organize these documents.
    </p>

    <p>APIs of web applications are often documented by through listing valid operations operating on URLs described as templates. A RESTful API for an online document store example might be described as follows:</p>

    <table class="simple">

          <td>PUT</td>
          <td>Update the description and/or list of files of the root container.</td>

    <p>In this example, we will see how Alice, a user of this system, manages the read / write document storage using the LDP protocol.</p>

    <p>First, Alice registers in the system and she is given a space that she can store her documents (she could use LDP protocol to register herself by POSTing to a container of users but that is out of scope of this example). When she registers she is informed the starting point URL to manage her documents, a basic container, http://data.example.org/alice/.</p>

    <section id="filelookup">
      <h2>Looking up a basic container (GET on an LDP-BC) </h2>

      <p>First Alice looks up her storage by retrieving the LDP Basic Container assigned to her. As it was just created, it is an empty container.</p>

      <pre title="A request for creating a new container" class='example' data-include='getbc.txt' data-oninclude='fixCode'></pre> 

      <pre title="The response of retrieving a basic container" class='example' data-include='getbc_res.txt' data-oninclude='fixCode'></pre> 

    </section>


    <section>
      <h2> Discovering the affordances (OPTIONS on an LDP-BC) </h2>

      <p>
        Now, Alice wants to know what she can do with her document space. She can use the OPTIONS operation to find out what are the operations she can do with her LDP-BC.
      </p>

      <pre title="A request for retrieving the OPTIONS of a basic container" class='example' data-include='optbc.txt' data-oninclude='fixCode'></pre> 

      <pre title="The response for retrieving the OPTIONS of a basic container" class='example' data-include='optbc_res.txt' data-oninclude='fixCode'></pre> 
  </pre> 

      <p>According to the response, HTTP operations {OPTIONS,HEAD, GET,POST,PUT,PATCH} are allowed on the her root container. In addition to the allowed operations, Accept-Post and Accept-Patch provides which media types are supported by respective operations. The rel="type" Link header advertises that this resource supports LDP protocol and it is an LDP Basic Container.</p>

      <p>Looking at the response, Alice (Alice's LDP client) can discover that this is an LDP-Basic Container and the container allows her to POST things of both RDF types (text/turtle, application/ld+json) and images (image/bmp and image/jpeg).</p>

    </section>

    <section>
      <h2> Creating a RDF resource (POST an RDF resource to an LDP-BC) </h2> 

      <p>Alice decides to create a FOAF profile for her using the LDP-BC by POSTing her FOAF personal profile document.</p>

      <pre title="A request for creating a RDF resource" class='example' data-include='bccreate.txt' data-oninclude='fixCode'></pre> 

   </pre> 

   <pre title="The response for creating a RDF resource" class="example" data-include='bccreate_res.txt' data-oninclude='fixCode'> 

   </pre>

      <p>Once the resource is created, Alice can check the container again to see whether it correctly contains the newly created resource.</p>

      <pre title="A request for retrieving a basic container after the new resource is created" class="example">
    GET /alice/ HTTP/1.1
    Host: example.org
    Accept: text/turtle
   </pre>

      <pre title="The response of retrieving a basic container after the new resource is created" class='example' data-include='bcget_res.txt' data-oninclude='fixCode'></pre>

    </section>

    <section>
      <h2> Creating a non-RDF (binary) resource (POST an image to an LDP-BC) </h2> 

      <p>Next, Alice wants to upload a photo of her to the document storage. She can create an image by POSTing it in the same way she created the RDF document.</p>

      <pre title="A request for creating a non-RDF resource" class="example"> 
POST /alice/ HTTP/1.1
Host: data.example.org
Slug: avatar
Content-Type: image/png
Content- Length: nnn

### binary data ###
 
   </pre> 

      <pre title="The response for creating a non-RDF resource" class="example"> 
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Location: /alice/avatar
Link: &lt;http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp/Resource&gt;; rel=&quot;type&quot;
Link: &lt;http://data.example.org/alice/avatar/meta&gt;; rel=&quot;describedby&quot;
Content-Length: 0   
   </pre> 

      <p>The outcome of creating a non-RDF is similar to creating a RDF resource. If successful, the server will return a 201 success code with a Location header that points to the created resource. However, in the case of binary resources the server may create an additional file to maintain the metadata about the binary file like shown in the above example.</p>

    </section>

    <section>
      <h2> Update a RDF LDP resource (PUT on an LDP-RS) </h2> 

      <p>After creating the image, Alice now wants to update her FOAF profile with a link to the image. So she first retrieves her FOAF profile.</p>

      <pre title="A request for retrieving a RDF resource" class="example" data-include='getfoaf.txt' data-oninclude='fixCode'/>

      <pre title="The response of retrieving a RDF resource" class='example' data-include='getfoaf_res.txt' data-oninclude='fixCode'/>
        
      <p>Then she updates the document and amending the document with a link to her photo and updating the document with a PUT.</p>

      <pre title="A request for updating a RDF resource" class="example" data-include'foafupdate.txt' data-oninclude='fixCode' /> 

      <pre title="The response for updating a RDF resource" class="example">

ETag: W/&quot;123454322&quot;  
   </pre>

      <p>If the operation is successful, the document will be updated with new information.</p>

    </section>

    <section>
      <h2> Deleting a resource (DELETE on an LDPR) </h2> 

      <p>If Alice decides to delete the document, she can do that with a delete operation.</p>


      <pre title="A request for deleting a RDF resource" class="example"> 
DELETE /alice/foaf HTTP/1.1
Host: data.example.org
If-Match: W/&quot;123454322&quot;        
   </pre> 

      <pre title="The response for deleting a RDF resource" class="example">

Link: &lt;http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp/Resource&gt;; rel=&quot;type&quot; 
ETag: W/&quot;123454322&quot;  
   </pre>

    </section>

    <section>
      <h3 id="meta-structure">Structural Manipulation (Child Containers)</h3>
      <p>To organize the documents in a better manner, the online document store allows creation of documents which are containers. That enables Alice can to create a container hierarchy to organise her documents. This can be done by POSTing (a child) container representation to a (parent) container.
      </p>

      <p>So if Alice wants to create a child container so that she can keep all her images organized in a separate container.</p>
      <pre title="The state of Alice's document store before creating the photo (child) container" class='example' data-include='create_cr_s1.txt' data-oninclude='fixCode'></pre>  

      <p>So Alice POSTs a representation of a container (LDP-BC) for creating photos to the root container.</p>
      <pre title="A request for creating a new container" class='example' data-include='create_cr_req.txt' data-oninclude='fixCode'></pre>  
      <p>If the create is successful, the server responds with location of the newly created container for the photos.</p>
      <pre title="The response after creating the new container" class="example">
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Location: /alice/photos/
Content-Length: 0  
        </pre>  

      <p>After creation of this new container, the parent container will look like</p>
      <pre title="The state of Alice's document store after creating the photo (child) container" class='example' data-include='create_cr_s2.txt' data-oninclude='fixCode'></pre> 
      <p>and the photo container will look like the following.</p>
      <pre title="The state of Alice's newly created photo container" class='example' data-include='create_cr_s3.txt' data-oninclude='fixCode'></pre>

    <h1>Bug Tracker Example (LDP Direct containers)</h1>

    <p>The previous section provided practical examples of basic LDP interactions. One thing to note the example was using LDP Basic Containers. One of the limitations of LDP Basic Containers is that it only uses LDP vocabulary. However, there are scenarios where the applications want to use their own domain specific vocabulary for listing members of a container. For example, an application which already had its own vocabulary would like continue using the same vocabulary when using LDP protocol. LDP Direct containers allow the domain-specific vocabulary to be used when listing members in a container.</p>

    <p>In addition to using the domain-specific vocabularies, in some applications would like to represent relationships other than the containment relationship of information resources within the containers. One example is that information resources contains relationship about non-information resources or real world things. LDP Indirect Containers allows the containers use these relations when new resources are created.

    </p>

    <p class="note">For more information on information resources (documents) vs real world entities (things) separation please refer to <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/webarch/#id-resources">Web Arch (Section 2.2. URI/Resource Relationships) </a>, , <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/cooluris/#semweb">Cool URIs (Section 3. URIs for Real-World Objects)</a>, <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/urls-in-data/#landing-pages">URLs in Data (Section 3. Landing Pages and Records)</a>.</p>

    <p>
      The examples in this section will revolve around a very simple Bug Tracker application. Bug Tracker application records the bugs of several products allowing reporting, updating and deleting bugs and products. In contrast to the online document store example, the bug tracker wants to use a simple domain vocabulary , e.g. has_bug or related, to express membership relationships in the containers. LDP provides the additional interaction capability in the protocol to perform dynamic evolution of knowledge representation.
    </p>

    <p>RESTful APIs are often documented by through listing valid operations operating on URLs described as templates. A RESTful API for a simple Bug Tracker system might be described as follows:</p>

      <h2>Navigation and Retreival</h2>

      <p>One of the main use cases of the example bug tracker is to list of the bugs of a given product. Assuming that a user got a URL of a product by out of band means, one can look it up to get more information including the bugs associated with it.</p>

      <p>To get the description of the product, a client can do a GET request on the URI of the known product resource. LDPR servers should provide text/turtle representations of the requested LDPRs and may provide RDF format representations using standard HTTP content negotiation.</p>
      <pre class="example" title="Product lookup request" data-include='product_lookup_req.txt' data-oninclude='fixCode'></pre>
      <p>If the product resource is available, the server responds with the representation of the resource using the requested media type,
        <code>text/turtle</code> in this case.</p>
      <pre title="HTTP response for product lookup" class='example' data-include='product_lookup_resp.txt' data-oninclude='fixCode'></pre>  

      <p>The project description resource contains both information about the project such as the title and the information about members of the product LDPC, i.e. the bugs associated with the product. This example uses an LDP Direct Container allowing the application to use domain specific vocabulary in the container. For example, it manages the (&lt;?productURI&gt;, bt:hasbug, &lt;?bugURI&gt;) relationship using the application-specific vocabulary. The next example illustrates the behaviour of LDP Direct containers when new resources are created.</p>



      <!-- <p>Looking up a bug is similar to looking up a product. Based on links in the representation of the Product, the client uses GET to navigate to a known Bug resource.</p>

        <pre class="example" title="Bug lookup request" 
          data-include='bug_look_up_req.txt' data-oninclude='fixCode'></pre>
        <p>The server responds with the representation of the bug.</p>
                                <pre title="Bug lookup response"
          class='example' data-include='bug_look_up_resp.txt'
          data-oninclude='fixCode'></pre -->

    </section>

    <section>
      <h3 id="BugCreate">Creation</h3>
      <p>Continuing from the previous example, we can report a Bug against 'product1' by creating a Bug LDPR under the 'Product' LDPC. The client POSTs a representation of a Bug to the Bug Tracker LDPC.</p>

      <p>The client POSTs a representation of a Bug to the Bug Tracker LDPC.</p>
      <pre title="A request for creating a bug" class='example' data-include='bug_create_req.txt' data-oninclude='fixCode'></pre> 
      <p>If the create is successful, the server responds with location of the newly created resource.</p>
      <pre title="A response of creating new a bug" class='example' data-oninclude='fixCode'>
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Location: /app/product1/67
Content-Length: 0           
          </pre>  


      <p>If the creation fails, the server will respond with an appropriate status code depending on the error. After the resource is creation, the Product A LDPC will have the following representation.</p>
      <pre title="The state of the product LDPC after the bug creation" class='example' data-include='bug_create_s1.txt' data-oninclude='fixCode'></pre>

      <p>And the created Bug resource will have the following representation. Note that server has added a server managed property, creation date (dcterms:created), and a default value for the state (bt:isInState) to the Bug in addition to what was being POSTed.</p>
      <pre title="The state of the bug LDPR" class='example' data-include='bug_create_s2.txt' data-oninclude='fixCode'></pre> 

    </section>

    <section>
      <h3 id="BugDelete">Deletion</h3>
      <pre class="example">
 DELETE /app/product1/bug3 HTTP/1.1 
 Host: example.org
        </pre>
      <p>If the update is successful, the server will respond with a success status and a new etag.</p>
      <pre class="example">
 HTTP/1.1 204 No Content
 ETag: W/"123456790"  
        </pre>

    <h1>Security</h1>
    <p>It is not the focus of the Linked Data Platform WG to provide security mechanisms for read/write Linked Data applications. Though most of the security mechanisms that are applicable to general web applications are equally applicable to Linked Data applications, there is still some space to build security mechanisms specific to Linked Data applications by leverage the Linked Data technologies and providing concrete security requirements of Linked Data applications. In this context, LDP WG has started to create a WG note on Access Control which aims to produce use cases for security scenarios of LDP applications that can be used as the input to later initiative that will be focused on developing standard security mechanisms for LDP applications.</p>
