Thanks for pointing this out, this is very interesting.

The W3C Read Write Web Community group is hoping to standarize in this
space based on traditional HTTP verbs.

Currently we have the concept of a collection (like a directory) and that
of a URL with the following 4 masks

1. READ
2. WRITE

3. CONTROL
4. APPEND

The first 2 are like owncloud

I think CONTROL is the same as SHARE, what it means is you can alter the
access control

And APPEND may be similar to UPDATE

I could be wrong but we may assume that WRITE access implies DELETE

Would you see any value here in trying to find a standard paradigm across
the whole web?
