Re: ISSUE-37: the Graph and Links model

hi Ashok, 

> Can a client create collections from this root resource?

Yes, when directed in the application. 

I would like to ask a question back to you. 
Are you mainly thinking of 'freestyle' applications (where a client can evolve the graph however they please), or more constrained applications ? 

I don't ignore the freestyle kind, but, most of my scenario's are the more  constrained variety. 

For example, in the Bug tracker scenario, if a Bug is to have an associated collection of Comment resources, this is something that the server sets-up for the client to follow and interact with, i.e. when a Bug resource is created, the server also provides the means for a client to discover that Comments can be created.

regards, 
Roger
