Media types

IN PROGRESS

Evaluate Media Types

• start with Collection/JSON
• See later if we want to use HAL in addition or replacement
• note: both "standards" are evolving, so we are likely to update the lib for time to time.

Create/Choose Media Types

• Collection/JSON

Graph Data Model

• content: graphviz’s code
• id: UUID, shortname, integer ..
• title: user friendly title
• description: description of the graph
• (image: generated graph from the graphviz’s code)
