Description

The Solid Ecosystem document mentions Memento as an optional dimension for content negotiation.

Memento, itself, defines a mechanism whereby a client can discover and retrieve previous states of a resource. Memento does not define how these previous states (Mementos) are created or otherwise managed. Is this an implementation decision or will the Solid specification take a stance on issues such as:

  1. Will it be possible to delete a Memento? If so, what are the ACL implications?
  2. How and under what conditions are Mementos created? Is a new Memento created every time a resource is modified?
  3. When a resource is deleted, are all associated Mementos also removed?

Research direction

Start by reading the linked Solid Ecosystem document and RFC 7089, then review the issue's questions about Memento deletion, creation conditions, and resource deletion. Done means the specification clearly states its position on Memento lifecycle and ACL implications, or identifies these as implementation decisions.
