## Containers
https://www.w3.org/TR/ldp/#ldpc
We extend the notion of LDP containers!
Terms:
- Containment Triples
- Membership Triples
Types:
- Direct Containers
```turtle
@prefix dcterms: <http://purl.org/dc/terms/>.
@prefix ldp: <http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp#>.
<http://example.org/c1/>
a ldp:BasicContainer;
dcterms:title "A very simple container";
ldp:contains <r1>, <r2>, <r3>.
```
- Indirect Containers - a way of interacting with existing data
Given:
```turtle
@prefix ldp: <http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp#>.
@prefix o: <http://example.org/ontology#>.
<http://example.org/netWorth/nw1/>
a o:NetWorth;
o:netWorthOf <http://example.org/users/JohnZSmith>;
o:asset
<assets/a1>,
<assets/a2>;
o:liability
<liabilities/l1>,
<liabilities/l2>,
<liabilities/l3>.
```
we can make direct containers that describe the assets and liabilities as containers without modifying the original data
```turtle
@prefix ldp: <http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp#>.
@prefix dcterms: <http://purl.org/dc/terms/>.
@prefix o: <http://example.org/ontology#>.
<http://example.org/netWorth/nw1/assets/>
a ldp:DirectContainer;
dcterms:title "The assets of JohnZSmith";
ldp:membershipResource <http://example.org/netWorth/nw1/>;
ldp:hasMemberRelation o:asset;
ldp:contains <a1>, <a2>.
```
Additionally, if one were to add a new set of "advisors," we would make an indirect container that tells us we need an additional triple when creating new members of the container (`foaf:primaryTopic`):
```turtle
<advisors/>
a ldp:IndirectContainer;
dcterms:title "The asset advisors of JohnZSmith";
ldp:membershipResource <>;
ldp:hasMemberRelation o:advisor;
ldp:insertedContentRelation foaf:primaryTopic;
ldp:contains
<advisors/bob>, # URI of a document a.k.a. an information resource
<advisors/marsha>. # describing a person
```
(still unclear to me what is different about that, still reading.)
| Completed Request | Membership Effect | Containment Effect |
| ----------------- | ------------------- | ------------------ |
| Create in Basic Container | New triple: (LDPC, ldp:contains, LDPR) | Same
| Create in Direct Container | New triple links LDP-RS to created LDPR. LDP-RS URI may be same as LDP-DC | New triple: (LDPC, ldp:contains, LDPR) |
| Create in Indirect Container | New triple links LDP-RS to content indicated URI | New triple: (LDPC, ldp:contains, LDPR) |
| Resource deleted | Membership triple may be removed | (LDPC, ldp:contains, LDPR) triple is removed |
| Container deleted | Triples and member resources may be removed | Triples of form (LDPC, ldp:contains, LDPR) and contained LDPRs may be removed |
## Similarities
- Separation between container data and metadata - "minimal-container triples," what remains in the container when the container has zero members and zero contained resources
## Differences
- Containers are not recursive??or at least that is suggested by the 'net worth' example that explains why we can't just turn the original subject into a container: "can't mix assets and liabilities" and i am like why not make one container for the person and then subcontainers for each of the types?
