Fedora4 - Extending and Restricting LDP Interactions

Hello All,
As an update from the community, I would like to bring to your attention
work that has been taking place around the Fedora4 Repository LDP server
implementation [1] which I believe should be of interest here.

We are currently reexamining the services that Fedora4 offers with an eye
towards:
- establishing well-defined restrictions of Fedora4's LDP contract
- incorporating versioning (Memento [2]) in an LDP-like pattern
- incorporating non-RDF source fixity checking in an LDP-like pattern
- incorporating authorization (WebAC [3])

It is important that these LDP extensions are defined, advertised, and
discovered in a cohesive way, aligned with LDP practices in order to behave
intuitively within the linked data Web. In that context, the feedback from
LDPNext is vital.

This email is an introduction to the initiative and an invitation to track
our work-in-progress.

Currently, Fedora4 community discussions are taking place on the
project-specific mailing list [4], but if there is interest, it may make
sense to transfer some of that discussion to the public-ldpnext mailing
list. Your feedback is appreciated.
