YADS - Classes
YADS implements a simple and predictable recursive data
model for describing resource collections. The aim is to assist
in programming complex resource descriptions across multiple
applications and to foster interoperability between them.
(Resources are entities identified by URIs which can be divided
into network dereferenceable data objects - including URLs and
inline resources as provided for by the "data:" scheme - as
well as non-dereferenceable data objects - including URNs.)
An "Item" object is the basic building block which associates a
resource with properties. (Note that the resource is actually
presented as a property of the "Item" object.) "Item" objects are
aggregated into "Collection" objects which are ultimately managed
by a toplevel "Nest" parent object. A "Nest" object binds a
resource to a resource hierarchy and associates properties with
the resource/hierarchy association.

YADS - Properties
YADS defines a basic "1+n" properties model for an "Item" and a
"2+n" properties model for a "Nest".
The one (mandatory) property on each "Item" is a "resource" or
alternatively - as a resource proxy - a "collection" which attributes
a "Collection" (a regular RDF Collection) of "Item" objects
through which a resource hierarchy can be propagated.
The two (mandatory) properties on each "Nest" are a "resource" and a
"collection" which are bound together..
Each "Item" or "Nest" object may have additional qualifying properties
associated with it.
properties 1 = ("resource" | "collection") # mandatory, one of
properties 2 = ("resource" & "collection") # mandatory, two of
properties n = { rdf:Property } # optional, any of
