Profile: collection

Profile Schema

A collection is simply a document meant to aggregate other documents. Unlike other “aggregation” documents (which take the form of a “tag” or “genre”), collections can be used for any arbitrary grouping of documents.

The collection profile is intended to be used as a “type” profile.

Structure

The collection profile requires that the document also list the aggregation profile in its profile list; the aggregation profile provides further validation constraints.

Example collection document

{
    "id": "12345",
    "profiles": [
        {
            "href": "/v1/profiles/collection",
            "rels": ["type"]
        },
        {
            "href": "/v1/profiles/aggregation"
        },
        {
            "href": "/v1/profiles/document"
        }
    ],

    "items": []
}
