The Memento terms vocabulary
The set of terms for the Memento Framework, RFC7089
Original Resource
A resource that exists or used to exist, and for which access to one of its prior states may be required.
TimeGate
A resource that is capable of datetime negotiation to support access to prior states of the Original Resource.
TimeMap
A resource from which a list of URIs of Mementos of the Original Resource is available.
Memento
A resource that encapsulates a prior state of the Original Resource. A Memento for an Original Resource as it existed at time T is a resource that encapsulates the state the Original Resource had at time T.
mementoDatetime
mementoDatetime is the datetime of the prior state of the Original Resource that is encapsulated by a Memento; it is the datetime on which the snapshot of the Original Resource was taken
that is reflected by the Memento. The value of mementoDatetime is provided in the Memento-Datetime HTTP header of the Memento.
The presence of a Memento-Datetime header constitutes a promise that the resource state reflected in the Memento will no longer change.
