> such a statement is too simple to be useful. What does it mean for a collection to have an audience? Does this collection have an "owner?" How would one discover the collection? What are the operations that can be performed on a collection? Can you "search" a collection and get a subset of the collection as a new collection? And, is a Link <https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-core/#link> sufficient? ActivityStreams doesn't define much metadata for inclusion in a link. there are all mostly possible to represent: `audience`/`to`/`cc` control visibility and delivery, `attributedTo` controls ownership, discovery happens via any existing method (direct delivery, advertising in `streams`, etc etc). Collections support Add and Remove. search is something that could be further specified, i suppose. if Link isn't sufficient, then perhaps Page? or there's the option to define an extension Bookmark that inherits from Link, or reuse Annotation if that works. the hard part is, again, in making all these decisions. the primitives and building blocks are mostly there, but the conventions are not.
