Introduction RFC 5988 [RFC5988] defined the way of indicating resources on the Web. This specification defines a pair of reciprocal link relation types that may be used to express the relationship between a collection and its members. The link relation is intentionally generic, and it can be used with multiple media types in a wide variety of use cases. 2. Link Relations The following link relation is defined. 2.1. form When included in a resource which represents a collection, the 'form' link relation identifies a target resource that represents the form for adding a new member to the context collection. [Add New Entry] or { "collection": { "href": "...", "items": [{OBJECT}, {OBJECT}]; "links": [ {"href": "...", "rel": "form"} ] }} or Dzmanashvili Expires October 12, 2012 [Page 2] Internet-Draft The Form Link Relation April 2012 When included in a resource which represents a member of a collection, the 'form' link relation identifies a target resource that represents a pre-populated form for editing the context resource. ... ... or { "collection": { "href": "...", "items": [ { "href": "...", "data": [ARRAY], "links": [ {"href": "...", "rel": "form"} ] } ]; }} 3.
