@erincandescent @evan @thisismissem @trwnh "parent" collection is also a great term, as is @trwnh 's suggestion of "primary" collection

@evan @trwnh if I have a Collection / OrderedCollection, and a set of Objects within that collection, with each Object being independently addressable, is there any property I can use to link from the Object to the Collection it is part of? -

I think of it as an item in my blog's Posts collection. But then I can also add it to some other publication, say Medium.com, to its collection of posts. But indicate that its canonical location/collection is back on my site, in the POSSE sense.

A back-link to the Outbox collection or something.

stop doing activitypub, facts and logic were not meant to have side effects, they have played us for absolute fools .png@trwnh I see. Sounds reasonable (and doable).

Distributed event logs is a really common pattern for federated or p2p distributed systems. Like.. would you rather it was direct RPC calls?
