<p>This vocabulary defines messages which can be used to access and manipulate
properties.  It is designed to provide a dynamic control interface for LV2
plugins, but is useful in many contexts.</p>

<p>The main feature of this design is that the messages themselves are
described in the same format as the data they work with.  In particular,
messages can be serialised as a binary <a
href="../atom/atom.html#Object">Object</a> or in Turtle (or any other RDF
serialisation).</p>

<p>The idea behind using a property-based interface for control is to prevent
an an explosion of message types.  Instead of a custom message for each action,
control is achieved via manipulating properties (which are likely already
defined for other reasons).  Note, however, that this is purely conceptual;
there is no requirement that the receiver actually implement a store of
resources with properties.</p>

<p>For example, consider an object that can blink.  Rather than define a
specific interface to control this (e.g. <code>obj.start_blinking();
obj.stop_blinking()</code>), set a <q>blinking</q> property to true or false
(e.g. <code>obj.set(blinking, true)</code>) to achieve the desired behaviour.
One benefit of this approach is that a persistent state model is available
<q>for free</q>: simply serialise the <q>blinking</q> property.</p>

<p>This specification is strictly metadata and does not define any binary
mechanism, though it can be completely expressed by standard types in the <a
href="../atom/atom.html">LV2 Atom</a> extension.  Thus, hosts can be expected
to be capable of transmitting it between plugins, or between a plugin and its
UI, making it a good choice for advanced plugin control.</p>

<p>Request a description of the subject.</p>

<p>The detail of the response is not specified, it may be a flat description of

several subjects.  A good choice is a <q><a
href="http://www.w3.org/Submission/CBD/">concise bounded description</a></q>,
i.e. a description which recursively includes all properties with blank node
values.</p>

<p>The response should have the same patch:subject property as the request, and
a patch:body that is a description of that subject.  For example:</p>
<pre class="turtle-code">
&lt;get-request&gt;
    a patch:Get ;
    patch:subject &lt;something&gt; .

the actual resource node.  Depending on the transport and syntax used this may
be preferable.  For example, the same response could be written:</p>
