Description

From discussion with @timbl , we found that container metadata are intended to be quite sparse, in the sense that it is mostly containment triples, minimal server data, possibly other metadata, such as timestamps of last modification, etc. It is not intended to host extensive metadata about the container or resources in the container that apps may find useful.

Such data is what I refer to as augmented data. Hitherto (I love that word :-) ), the databrowser has used a resource called index.ttl for such data.

This issue is opened as the issue is a orthogonal (or at least 75 degrees :-) ) to the container listing issue in #116.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the discussion in this issue and comparing the existing use of index.ttl with the container listing work in #116. Clarify the intended boundary between sparse container metadata and augmented data, then define the specification changes and acceptance criteria before implementation.
