The basic resources we produced before we set PATCH aside:
https://www.w3.org/2012/ldp/wiki/LDP_PATCH_Proposals
https://www.w3.org/2001/sw/wiki/PatchRequirements
Why I gave up:
For my applications, I can't set aside the first two "general
requirements", Universality (patching any graph to any graph) and
Tractability. But I saw no way to meet them while still being
standards compliant.
Why I said we could solve this in half an hour:
Because I know how to meet them now. Use "Virtual Skolemization",
where graphs with bnodes *appear* to be Skolemized when accessed via
the patch-specific media type(s). I updated TurtlePatch to use
this technique (although it's not explained perfectly).
Talking to Alexandre, today, it became clear his requirements are
different. He doesn't care about Universality, so he has lots of other
options. And given that, he finds the Skolemization thing too
painful/ugly. And it is, if you don't happen to need it.
