Research direction

Start by reading the issue example and the linked Solid protocol storage-description source, then inspect the repository's existing specification structure. Done means the specification clearly defines whether and how a Data Instance exposes a Link relation to its Data Registration, including the GET and HEAD behavior described here.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It would be very useful if, given a Data Instance, we could easily find the relative Data Registration.

For example with a simple Link header when we do a GET or a HEAD on a given resource:

Link: <https://mypod.store/alice/data/as/event>; rel="http://www.w3.org/ns/solid/interop#hasDataRegistration"

Solid already include such a link to find the storage linked with a given resource (source)
