This document specifies an interface for selecting resources in Linked Data with search algorithms, autocomplete, and other string or entity matching approaches. Search Fragments are a Linked Data Fragments type that can be implemented using a variety of search algorithms and ranking heuristics. An individual Search Fragment contains the subject resources returned by a given search algorithm, a view of those resource's properties, together with metadata descriptions of the result set. Hypermedia controls are provided to describe other Search Fragments available on the dataset.
This document is a working paper by one person somewhere in Oregon, US. It has no official standing of any kind and does not represent the support or consensus of any standards organisation. It is published nowhere by anyone, really. Least of all me.
