The LDP protocols covers read and write interactions with Resources.
- Writable aspects include creation of new resources (using POST or PUT), updates (using PUT or PATCH), deletion of resources and importantly creation.
+ Writable aspects include creation of new resources (using the POST HTTP verbs), updates (using PUT or PATCH), and deletion of resources (using DELETE ).
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.
+ The server reveals these read/write abilities of resources by describing them.
This common pattern is often seen in cases where one resource is be made up of a number of others, e.g. a Document Store consists of Documents, a Bug Tracker consists of Bugs, a Photo Album consists of Photos, a Networth of a person consists of Assets and Liabilities.
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.
