Creating Containers or Binaries
You have the option to create a container or binary. When you create a container by selecting "container" for the "Type" field, you may provide an identifier and click "Add" to create a new container with that identifier.
Identifier
If you choose to enter an identifier, it may be a simple or namespaced name. If you opt not to enter an identifier, a new resource will be created with an automatically generated name and path.
Special Characters
When entering an identifier for a resource, certain characters have specific meanings that you should understand to avoid errors.
- The colon ":" character is used to separate namespace prefixes from local names. If a colon is entered in a name it must be preceded by a valid registered namespace prefix.
- The slash "/" character is used to denote hierarchical path separation. Multiple resources will be created in the event that slashes exist in your specified ID.
File
When you choose to create a new binary, a file selection form element is presented. You must select a file that will be the content of the binary. A description of the binary, termed a nonRdfSourceDescription, will also be created.
Warning
It is not recommended to upload files larger than 1GB using this HTML form. To ingest large files, please refer to the RESTful HTTP API and possibly consider alternatives such as federation.
