+1!

Interesting, so here an Offer itself also acts as container, since we
don't have another URI for container, one distinct from the Offer URI

I try to brainstorm Thing and Collection as well Thing/Collection in

Imagine a container with 100k elements
1. you may want to have distinct URI just for collection of all the members
2. you most likely want to page it

LDP paging may come useful but if we don't use distinct URI for
container. Flow for person browsing it using UI (web browser), and LDP
client may work different. Because of setting HTTP Header
'Prefer: return=representation; max-triple-count="500"'

We had conversation with Melvin Carvalho about using foaf:Group, I
pointed to him that looking at W3C Community Grup page
e.g. https://www.w3.org/community/rsp/
we find

1. Group resource https://www.w3.org/community/rsp/ (e.g. foaf:Group)
 a) it includes group details
 b) it includes count Participants (83) but only includes 10 of them
2. Group Members resource https://www.w3.org/community/rsp/participants
 a) it includes all 83 members
 b) for 2000 members it would provide intuitive way to page it

Just some thoughts + real world examples

Cheers!
