An RDF payload can be combined with any of the above forms.

RDF will be interpreted using the current resource as the base URI (e.g. <> will be expanded to the current URI). Namespaces must be declared in full.

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: text/turtle" --data-binary "@body.rdf" "http://localhost:8080/rest/node/to/create"
 
Request Body:
PREFIX dc: <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/>
<> dc:title "some-resource-title"
 

Status: 201 Created
 
Headers:

RDF will be interpreted using the current resource as the base URI (e.g. <> will be expanded to the current URI)

By convention, binary content is accessed using the REST endpoint path/to/resource/fcr:content.

Some resource properties are repository managed and cannot be removed or modified. Any attempt to do so may result in a 4xx error.

RDF will be interpreted using the current resource as the base URI (e.g. <> will be expanded to the current URI)
