OSLC Creation Factory

OSLC deploys a Creation Factory that allows users to POST new resources. With the exception of the Creation Delegated Dialog, the Creation Factory is the only way to create new resources.

When a POST or PUT request is made, the program checks to see if the URI of the request exists in the database using a SPARQL query. If so, the program loads the resource that contains the creation URI and loads the Resource Shape.

The program checks the Resource Shape to see if the resource to be POSTed is compliant to the shape. If so, the POST proceeds.
