Hi Andrew, > In my api's and clients I much prefer to use offset and limit as a more fundamental concept to partial collections. This has strong repercussions of the cacheability of answers, which is crucial when many clients consume the API. (Graphs: http://linkeddatafragments.org/publications/iswc2014.pdf) > Offset and limit is also how SQL databases tend to handle these things But we shouldn't make any assumptions on the underlying datasource. I'm not against limit/offset per se, but we definitely first support a more simple interface. Best, Ruben
