Re: Pagination (ISSUE-42)

Hi folks

 

I was wondering if you are aware of what is happening in terms of paging in
the Linked Data Platform.

 

While older specs where ugly in this area, latest seems to address that
topic in much nicer way (in my opinion):

 

http://www.w3.org/TR/ldp-paging/

 

In general, they are somehow withdrawing from having separate resources
related to pages. Instead, they craft a notion of a canonical address of a
resource (which is a collection here), and provides parameterized links to
other "pages". Most of these are put to the headers layer of the
communication instead of the body.

 

While this approach seems quite different, but I think it's worth of
considering. In general, my gut-feeling is that page doesn't have to be
elevated to a separate RDF resource. From ReST point of view it's usually
the same collection, but just a partial view and my understanding of the
ld-paging newest concept fits to that view.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong

 

Regards
