Define content-types #10

Open rescribet opened 4 years ago

rescribet commented 4 years ago

With linked-delta's, the semantic meaning of the graph is somewhat different, so it might be useful to defined custom content-types and file extensions to communicate to the consuming system that they should be interpreted as delta, rather than just adding the data.

E.g. application/delta+n-quads

Mime type registration should be done according to this RFC spec.
