Some more ideas - </alice/friends> :covers [ :subject </alice> :property foaf:knows ] - </alice/friends> :binding [ :subject </alice> :property foaf:knows ] - </alice/friends> :holds [ :subject </alice> :property foaf:knows ] - </alice/friends> :memberTemplate [ :subject </alice> :property foaf:knows ] - </alice/friends> :relationshipTemplate [ :subject </alice> :property foaf:knows ] > In the spirit of not trying to bind this too closely to collections: > > contains - Probably not quite right.

Can you "add" resources from a different API?

A collection is not really a producer of something (in most cases)... but perhaps it also just depends on how we call the "manages block". > lists - hmm > organizes - pretty much equivalent to manages IMO > handles - pretty much equivalent to manages IMO Agreed. I quite like handles but it is really just a synonym of manages, isn't it? > So, I'd go with one of containsTemplate, provides, organizes, handles, or manages.

Better to get this right now as otherwise we have to live with it forever. So thanks for bringing in other perspectives to look at these things. -- Markus Lanthaler @markuslanthaler
