Linked Data Platform (LDP 1.0)

W3C’s 2015 Recommendation for reading and writing resources over plain HTTP. LDP defines containers that behave like directories, creates members with POST, writes with PUT and PATCH, requires ETag preconditions on updates, and treats non-RDF resources — files — as first-class members. It is the standards-track answer to “a file system over HTTP” that most people have never heard of, and the foundation Solid builds on.
