- Develop approach to API specification featuring baseline and orthogonal suites of optional features
- Fedora 4 Baseline = LDP + Fedora 4 upper ontology + API for bytestreams
- LDP defines the CRUD behavior of RDF resources and non-RDF resources
- The ontology explains the semantics of the RDF that may be transacted via LDP
- Other ontologies might be brought into play in a given repository, but that is instance-specific behavior, not part of the Fedora specification
- It is an open question whether the API for non-RDF resources defined by LDP is sufficient to specify the behavior of a Fedora repository, or whether we will need to provide additional specification that is compatible with LDP but extends it
- Fedora Transactions API + ontology
- Fedora Versioning API + ontology
- Fedora Locking API + ontology
- Fedora Fixity API + ontology
- Fedora Backup/Restore API
- Fedora Identifier Minting API
- Fedora Administrative Search API
- Fedora Sitemap API
- Fedora 4 Baseline = LDP + Fedora 4 upper ontology + API for bytestreams
- Should any of these APIs be folded into the baseline?
