Fedora4 (F4) implements the Linked Data Platform (LDP) W3C Recommendation. Additionally, the Portland Common Data Model (PCDM) has increasingly become adopted as a common content modeling approach in Fedora4.

This guide is designed to describe the details of both LDP and PCDM in the context of F4 by walking through a simple example of a single collection, consisting of a single book that implements page ordering.

Note0: Although the following example uses specifically named resources, such as "poe" and "raven", production scenarios will likely use opaque identifiers/URLs by allowing them to be auto-generated by F4.
Note1: An easy way to stand-up an environment for executing the following REST requests is to use fcrepo4-vagrant

This diagram depicts the logical structure of resources and relationships of a collection ("poe") that consists of a book ("raven") that consists of three pages that are ordered.

The following steps will walk through the process of creating this structure from the ground up.
The different types of LDP containers and sources will be detailed, as well as the PCDM types and relationships in the steps below.
