Context Specific Constraints

Page to capture existing conversation on this topic from which we can compile more coherent information

How do you intend to (or usually) communicate constraints which aren't for

everyone but only for users of a particular Web API.. in other words, how

would a client find constraints that apply only in certain contexts? In

Hydra we solve this by sending an HTTP Link header which points to a

hydra:ApiDocumentation that contains information which is intended to be

used only in the context of the specific request. For instance the

constraint that the name property is obligatory for instances of

schema:Event applies only in a specific Web API and not for all instances of

schema:Event on the Web.
