Research direction

Start with the specification's treatment of Data Registrations and Shape Trees, then compare it with the Solid RS file-server and static-website use cases described here. Done means resolving whether those use cases remain supported and documenting the answer or required specification change.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

According to the specification, all data seems to be stored in Data Registrations according to Shape Trees. This would seem to preclude us from storing and accessing files like we currently can do with/in a Solid RS.

E.g. (how) would it (still) be possible to use a Solid RS as a file server, next to the differently shaped data I have on it?
E.g. (how) would it (still) be possible to serve a (static) website from a Solid RS?
