BasicContainer-GetResource[MUST]LDP servers MUST provide an RDF representation for LDP-RSs. The HTTP Request-URI of the LDP-RS is typically the subject of most triples in the response.
NonRDFSource-OptionsHasSameLinkHeader[MUST]When responding to requests whose request-URI is a LDP-NR with anassociated LDP-RS, a LDPC server must provide the same HTTP Link responseheader as is required in the create response

MemberResource-PutSimpleUpdate[MUST]LDP servers SHOULD allow clients to update resources without requiring detailed knowledge of server-specific constraints. This is a consequence of the requirement to enable simple creation and modification of LDPRs.
MemberResource-GetResource[MUST]LDP servers MUST provide an RDF representation for LDP-RSs. The HTTP Request-URI of the LDP-RS is typically the subject of most triples in the response.
NonRDFSource-PostResourceAndCheckLink[MAY]LDP servers exposing an LDP Non-RDF Source may advertise this by exposing a HTTP Link header with a target URI of http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp#NonRDFSource, and a link relation type of type (that is, rel='type') in responses to requests made to the LDP-NR's HTTP Request-URI.
NonRDFSource-GetResource[MUST]LDP servers MUST support the HTTP GET Method for LDPRs
MemberResource-Head[MUST]LDP servers MUST support the HTTP HEAD method.

BasicContainer-ServerHonorsSlug[MAY]LDP servers MAY allow clients to suggest the URI for a resource created through POST, using the HTTP Slug header as defined in [RFC5023]. LDP adds no new requirements to this usage, so its presence functions as a client hint to the server providing a desired string to be incorporated into the server's final choice of resource URI.

BasicContainer-NullRelativeUriPost[MUST]In RDF representations, LDP servers MUST interpret the null relative URI for the subject of triples in the LDPR representation in the request entity body as referring to the entity in the request body. Commonly, that entity is the model for the “to be created” LDPR, so triples whose subject is the null relative URI will usually result in triples in the created resource whose subject is the created resource.

MemberResource-RestrictClientInference[MANUAL, MUST]LDP servers MUST NOT require LDP clients to implement inferencing in order to recognize the subset of content defined by LDP. Other specifications built on top of LDP may require clients to implement inferencing [rdf11-concepts]. The practical implication is that all content defined by LDP must be explicitly represented, unless noted otherwise within this document.

Reference URI: http://www.w3.org/TR/ldp#ldpr-put-precond

NonRDFSource-PostResourceAndCheckAssociatedResource

Reference URI: http://www.w3.org/TR/ldp#ldpc-post-createbinlinkmetahdr

Description: Upon successful creation of an LDP-NR (HTTP status code of 201-Created and URI indicated by Location response header), LDP servers may create an associated LDP-RS to contain data about the newly created LDP-NR. If a LDP server creates this associated LDP-RS it must indicate its location on the HTTP response using the HTTP Link response header with link relation describedby and href to be the URI of the associated LDP-RS resource.

Description: LDP servers exposing LDPRs MUST advertise their LDP support by exposing a HTTP Link header with a target URI of http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp#Resource, and a link relation type of type (that is, rel='type') in all responses to requests made to the LDPR's HTTP Request-URI.

BasicContainer-NullRelativeUriPost

Reference URI: http://www.w3.org/TR/ldp#ldpc-post-rdfnullrel

Description: In RDF representations, LDP servers MUST interpret the null relative URI for the subject of triples in the LDPR representation in the request entity body as referring to the entity in the request body. Commonly, that entity is the model for the “to be created” LDPR, so triples whose subject is the null relative URI will usually result in triples in the created resource whose subject is the created resource.
