Re: Link relation type to link to discover LDP

It's not specific for a media type, depending on the definition of "media type".
The proposed link would point to a hypermedia control,
which can be available in different media types (HTML, JSON, Turtle, …)

But it's not really "home".
The semantics we need are "you can also access this dataset as".

> - "service-desc" as proposed by http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wilde-service-link-rel-00

It's not a description either, and this is why I don't think
that Markus' hydra:apiDocumentation suggestion is appropriate either.

> link relations should signal a client *why* to follow a certain link in a given context, and not *what* exactly to expect in terms of media types.

"if you want to access this dataset in another way, follow…”

Best,
