The W3C Linked Data Platform (LDP) specification describes a set of best practices and specification details a simple approach for a read-write Linked Data architecture, lays out a set of best practices for Linked Data architecture, and defines a basic interaction model based on HTTP access to web resources that describe their state using the RDF data model. Fedora 4 implements the LDP specification for create, read, update and delete (CRUD) operations, allowing HTTP, REST, and linked data clients to make requests to Fedora 4the repository. |
The LDP Working Group has published several documents of interest:

LDP Support
The following is a list of the salient ways Fedora 4 supports LDP:
- The web interface shows LDP relations under the children section for a resource.
- Fedora 4 supports all LDP containers.
- Fedora 4 uses LDP terminology to describe resources and associated properties (e.g. Glossary and http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp#containsldp#contains).
- LDP compliance is checked via invoking LDP Test Cases. Fedora 4 integration tests rely on the specification provided LdbTestSuite library for verification.
- Properties of a resource can be selected via XPath-style LDPath queries.
