    Just taking a first stab at this – POST seems like the right verb for append. As for which resource types you can append to, I guess one could append a binary to an existing RDF resource, but you would not POST something to an existing binary. I'll be glad to hear what others think about this.

      I think there are two flavors of APPEND:

      1. POST a resource to a container
      2. PATCH a property to an RDF Source

        I agree.  PATCH makes sense.  For append, would PATCHing be limited to adding additional properties, or would it also allow changing existing properties? When I think of append, I think of adding to, but not altering what's there.

          Yes, I would expect PATCHing properties in the context of APPEND to be limited to adding properties, not changing or deleting properties.

            Sounds like we are in agreement on this.
