Accounts and Sites

The Account is a cryptographic identity, and the Site is all the content that is officially associated with that identity.

A Site may include many Documents, arranged in a hierarchy where each document has a path name. For example there may be a Document called /drivers and a child document named /drivers/max. The full address for this document includes the Account ID and has the prefix for the Hypermedia protocol. Because the Account ID is z6Mk..., the full ID is:

hm://z6MkrbXz34XKUVz8EJJQ7gXvhK2jYhtR9yoqemP6bGQZbd15/drivers/max

There is a special Document for each Site known as the Home Document- the path is empty (""). This is the simplest form of Hypermedia ID:

hm://z6MkrbXz34XKUVz8EJJQ7gXvhK2jYhtR9yoqemP6bGQZbd15
