As in the book example, begin with creating an ldp:DirectContainer, "orderProxies/", as a child of the book, "raven/", resource. This new DirectContainer will facilitate the auto-creation of triples that will define the membership relationship between the book, "raven/", and the proxies. Then, the new proxy resources within this DirectContainer will be used to establish an ordering of the books pages.

Note: This example assumes the previous creation of "/objects/raven/" and the cover and page resources from the Book example in this series.

curl -i -XPUT -H"Content-Type: text/turtle" --data-binary @ldp-ordering-direct.ttl localhost:8080/fcrepo/rest/objects/raven/orderProxies/

Where "ldp-ordering-direct.ttl" follows:

@prefix ldp: <http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp#>
@prefix pcdm: <http://pcdm.org/models#>
@prefix ore: <http://www.openarchives.org/ore/terms/>

<> a ldp:DirectContainer, pcdm:Object ;
  ldp:membershipResource </fcrepo/rest/objects/raven/> ;
  ldp:isMemberOfRelation ore:proxyIn .

An ldp:DirectContaner is an LDP construct that activates the creation of certain RDF triples when a new resource is added as a child of this container.

Like the "pages/" DirectContainer in an earlier example, the "orderProxies/" includes the ldp:membershipResource property ("raven/"). However, it is important to point out that the "orderProxies/" DirectContainer *does not* have the ldp:hasMemberRelation property defined, but instead uses ldp:isMemberOfRelation of "ore:proxyIn".
By using ldp:isMemberOfRelation, the auto-created triple resulting from the addition of a new child resource within "orderProxies/" will take the form:

<new-resource> <ore:proxyIn> <http://localhost:8080/fcrepo/rest/objects/raven/>

We will see this in action next!

 Create a new pcdm:Object, "coverProxy/", that is also an ldp:RdfSource within the "orderProxies/" DirectContainer.

curl -i -XPUT -H"Content-Type: text/turtle" --data-binary @ldp-cover-proxy.ttl localhost:8080/fcrepo/rest/objects/raven/orderProxies/coverProxy

Where "ldp-cover-proxy.ttl" follows:

@prefix pcdm: <http://pcdm.org/models#>
@prefix ore: <http://www.openarchives.org/ore/terms/>

<> a pcdm:Object ;
  ore:proxyFor </fcrepo/rest/objects/raven/pages/cover> .

As described in the previous step, the addition of "coverProxy" automatically creates the following new triple on "coverProxy"

<http://localhost:8080/fcrepo/rest/objects/raven/orderProxies/coverProxy> ore:proxyIn <http://localhost:8080/fcrepo/rest/objects/raven>

Restating from the previous step,

• the subject of the triple is the new resource ("coverProxy") that was added to the ldp:DirectContainer ("orderProxies/")
• the predicate of the triple comes from the "ldp:isMemberOfRelation" defined on "orderProxies/", and
• the object of the triple comes from the "ldp:membershipResource" defined on "orderProxies/"

  In the same fashion as the previous step, adding "page0Proxy" to the DirectContainer, "orderProxies/" results in a new auto-generated triple on "page0Proxy" of the form:

<http://localhost:8080/fcrepo/rest/objects/raven/orderProxies/page0Proxy> ore:proxyIn <http://localhost:8080/fcrepo/rest/objects/raven>

curl -i -XPUT -H"Content-Type: text/turtle" --data-binary @ldp-page0-proxy.ttl localhost:8080/fcrepo/rest/objects/raven/orderProxies/page0Proxy

Where "ldp-page0-proxy.ttl" follows:

@prefix pcdm: <http://pcdm.org/models#>
@prefix ore: <http://www.openarchives.org/ore/terms/>

<> a pcdm:Object ;
  ore:proxyFor </fcrepo/rest/objects/raven/pages/page0/> .

This step in creating the final page, "page1Proxy", follows the same pattern shown in the previous two steps. 

curl -i -XPUT -H"Content-Type: text/turtle" --data-binary @ldp-page1-proxy.ttl localhost:8080/fcrepo/rest/objects/raven/orderProxies/page1Proxy

Where "ldp-page1-proxy.ttl" follows:

@prefix pcdm: <http://pcdm.org/models#>
@prefix ore: <http://www.openarchives.org/ore/terms/>

<> a pcdm:Object ;
  ore:proxyFor </fcrepo/rest/objects/raven/pages/page1/> .

Now that the proxies have been created, and associated with the book ("raven/") and the proxied resources, we can actually use the proxies to establish ordering, per the PCDM recommendations.
First, establish the order among the proxies with iana:next and iana:prev.

 1) Establish "coverProxy" has iana:next of "page0Proxy":

curl -i -XPATCH -H"Content-Type: application/sparql-update" --data-binary @iana-cover-proxy.ru localhost:8080/fcrepo/rest/objects/raven/orderProxies/coverProxy

Where "iana-cover-proxy.ru" follows:

PREFIX iana: <http://www.iana.org/assignments/relation/>

INSERT {
  <> iana:next </fcrepo/rest/objects/raven/orderProxies/page0Proxy>
} WHERE {
}

2) Establish both:

• "page0Proxy" has iana:prev of "coverProxy", and
• "page0Proxy" has iana:next of "page1Proxy":

curl -i -XPATCH -H"Content-Type: application/sparql-update" --data-binary @iana-page0-proxy.ru localhost:8080/fcrepo/rest/objects/raven/orderProxies/page0Proxy

Where "iana-page0-proxy.ru" follows:

PREFIX iana: <http://www.iana.org/assignments/relation/>

INSERT {
  <> iana:next </fcrepo/rest/objects/raven/orderProxies/page1Proxy> .
  <> iana:prev </fcrepo/rest/objects/raven/orderProxies/coverProxy>
} WHERE {
}

3) Establish "page1Proxy" has iana:prev of "page0Proxy":

curl -i -XPATCH -H"Content-Type: application/sparql-update" --data-binary @iana-page1-proxy.ru localhost:8080/fcrepo/rest/objects/raven/orderProxies/page1Proxy

Where "iana-page1-proxy.ru" follows:

PREFIX iana: <http://www.iana.org/assignments/relation/>

INSERT {
  <> iana:prev </fcrepo/rest/objects/raven/orderProxies/page0Proxy>
} WHERE {
}

 Finally, the very last step is to define from the book's perspective, the iana:first and iana:last pages of "raven/".

Establish both:

• "raven/" has iana:first of "coverProxy", and
• "raven/" has iana:last of "page1Proxy":

curl -i -XPATCH -H"Content-Type: application/sparql-update" --data-binary @iana-raven.ru localhost:8080/fcrepo/rest/objects/raven/

Where "iana-raven.ru" follows:

PREFIX iana: <http://www.iana.org/assignments/relation/>

INSERT {
  <> iana:first </fcrepo/rest/objects/raven/orderProxies/coverProxy> .
  <> iana:last </fcrepo/rest/objects/raven/orderProxies/page1Proxy>
} WHERE {
}

Ordering - Conclusion

Using LDP in conjunction with PCDM terms, we have established the ordering of pages within the book, "raven/".
