The Folders API provides an organizational structure for SAS and external content. It can also be used for favorites folders or a history of objects accessed. The resources that are stored in folders (members) use a URI to point back to those resources. <H4><strong>Terminology:</strong></H4> <H4>folder</H4>
  <p> A virtual container for other folders, or any resource that can be represented
with a URI.</p> <H4>member</H4>
  <p> A resource contained in a folder. A member can itself be a folder, creating
a hierarchical structure for folders and subfolders. Members have two types: child and reference. A child member inherits authorizations from its container, and a given resource can be a child only in a single folder. Reference members do not inherit authorizations, and a resource can have many references in many different folders.

Using that service generates an event that causes the folders service to clean up any members that have that target resource's URI.

baseCollection

A link to a related operation or resource.

Link

The summarized representation of a resource. Often used in collection responses when more specific details are not needed.

Resource Summary

The response from a pre-flight validation request. For APIs that support validation, the client can run operations (typically on resources in the `/commons/validation`) with `application/vnd.sas.validation+json` as the requested response type (via the `Accept:` request header). The service validates the request but does not execute the request, and returns this response to indicate whether the request was valid at the time it was made.
