Hi Dietrich, > Markus told me to use hydra:Resource to mark a Link as dereferenceable in-place (embedded, without dereferencing the ApiDocumentation). I don't think that's really necessary. > On the other hand, I found that one could also make it explicit that a link is meant to be dereferenced by defining a GET operation on it. “Meant to be referenced” is strange. As a server, you cannot know what your client wants to do. I prefer the implicit contract. If it's an HTTP(s) URL, it should be implicit you can dereference. And it never hurts to try. > Since neither hydra nor schema.org define something like a :DereferenceOperation: what about defining one ReadResourceOperation was discussed in the past, but was not deemed necessary, more or less for the same reason (if I recall correctly): just GET it. Best, Ruben
