Whoever told you that a mime type should tell you anything about how to interact with a resource? The role of the mime type is just to tell you what the type of the bytes in the body that constitute the representation returned by the resource are. That and a few other headers will allow you to parse those bytes to reconsitute the media sent to you. Where do you get the idea that mime types should do anything else? (spec text to support your point of view would be helpful here). Put it another way: if you did put the information in the mime type that the resoure was an LDPC, using your hypothetical text/turtle+ldpc why would that be any more reliable about the resource being an LDPC than the content of a text/turtle graph just containing the triple <> a ldp:Container . After all mime types could also be wrong ( especially as you are adding semantic information now to the mime type, rather than syntactic information ! ) So text/turtle+ldpc does not give you any more reliable information that putting the information in the body. If you want it in the header than just use the Link header to put that. The mime type is to describe the type of the body of the HTTP message. But what we need to do is describe the resource which we are going to interact with. That is what Resource Description Framework is for.
