Abstract
This specification aims to be a practical guide for developers
to create a Linked Data Event Stream (LDES) server.
1. Introduction
Creating a Linked Data Event Stream (LDES) server involves understanding
two specifications, the LDES specification and the TREE specification,
upon which the LDES specification is built.
The goal of this specification is to describe the requirements for a
server that hosts a time-based fragmented LDES and provides a mechanism
for writing to an LDES, based on Linked Data Platform concepts.
Conformance
Conformance requirements are expressed with a combination of descriptive assertions and RFC 2119 terminology.
The key words “MUST”, “MUST NOT”, “REQUIRED”, “SHALL”, “SHALL NOT”, “SHOULD”, “SHOULD NOT”, “RECOMMENDED”, “MAY”, and “OPTIONAL”
in the normative parts of this document
are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.
However, for readability,
these words do not appear in all uppercase letters in this specification.
All of the text of this specification is normative
except sections explicitly marked as non-normative, examples, and notes. [RFC2119]
Examples in this specification are introduced with the words “for example”
or are set apart from the normative text with class="example", like this:
This is an example of an informative example.
Informative notes begin with the word “Note”
and are set apart from the normative text with class="note", like this:
