Florent Guillaume commented on CMIS-377:
----------------------------------------

Feed is defined by Atom, and is just a way to list several entries at the same time.

Collection is defined by AtomPub, and have several added features:
- they can be advertised in the service document, with optional metadata (like categories),
- they have additional standard semantics associated (POST for creation, media entries, etc.).

For instance see AtomPub 8.3.5 (Usage in Atom Feed Documents):
> The app:collection element may appear as a child of an atom:feed or atom:source element
> in an Atom Feed Document. Its content identifies a Collection by which new Entries
> can be added to appear in the feed.

But that's about it.

> Part 2 AtomPub binding distinguishes between collections and feeds i.e.
> collections: relationships, folder children, policies
> feeds: object parents, folder descendants, folder tree, type descendants, changes
> plus, some collections are described in the service document section which could easily be described as feeds e.g. types children
> Need to clarify distinction between collection and feed. It seems that collections allow create etc.
