ISSUE-14: Include clarifications about ordering in BPC representations

BPC representation ordering

Include clarifications about ordering in BPC representations

State:
CLOSED
Product:
Linked Data Platform Spec
Raised by:
Raúl García Castro
Opened on:
2012-10-02
Description:
"5.3.7 BPC servers may represent the members of a paged BPC in a sequential order. The order must be specified using the bp:containerSortPredicates predicate whose subject is that of the page and object is a list of BPC ordinal predicates. The default ordering is ascending."

5.3.7 says that the default ordering is ascending. How can be other orderings specified?

Furthermore, in an RDF representation, the order of triples is meaningless.
Something about this should be said here since, in that case, the client would be the one that interprets the representation provided by the server in order to generate the ordered list.

Related notes:

Arnaud's option A

---------
1. remove the two types of container AggregateContainer and
CompositeContainter, leaving the only kind of container to be
ldp:Container

2. specify that on deleting a container LDP servers MUST delete the
container and MAY delete member resources (typically to satisfy internal
requirements).

So if I have:

<> a ldp:Container;
rdfs:member <a>.

and I create <b> using POST to the container, I end up with:

<> a ldp:Container;
rdfs:member <a>, <b>.

When I delete the container, the container gets deleted, and <a> and <b>
MAY get deleted.

3. Defer adding an operation that let's a client request a recursive
delete to a future version of LDP, and do one of the following:
---------


option B
---------

1. remove the two types of container AggregateContainer and
CompositeContainter, leaving the only kind of container to be
ldp:Container

2. add that on creating a new member resource using POST, LDP servers
SHOULD add a triple a la : <> ldp:contains <newly_created_resource> if the
resource will be deleted when the container is deleted. Note that this is
in addition to adding the appropriate ldp:membershipPredicate or
ldp:membershipPredicateInverse triple to the container representation as
currently required.

3. specify that on deleting a container LDP servers MUST delete the
container and member resources listed as contained via ldp:contains, and
MAY delete other member resources (typically to satisfy internal
requirements).

So if I have:

<> a ldp:Container;
rdfs:member <a>.

and I create <b> using POST to the container, I end up with:

<> a ldp:Container;
rdfs:member <a>, <b>;
ldp:contains <b>.

When I delete the container, both the container and <b> get deleted. <a>
MAY be deleted.

4. Defer adding an operation that let's a client request a recursive
delete to a future version of LDP:

Resolution: Close ISSUE-14, saying an LDPC server can indicate to a client the ordering of members in a container page using an ldp:containerOrder property. This property has as range a list of resources with two properties: (a) ldp:containerSortPredicate, which defines the property used for sorting; (b) ldp:containerSortOrder, which defines the ordering (ascending or descending) and is optional, (c, etc.) collation, and others.
