Reference Nodes

Reference nodes are a link to an existing asset node.

This association is stored in the ContentGraph in the referenceOf of the node struct.

Reference nodes only exist as leafs in the ContentGraph.

Ids

Like org nodes their ids are not calculated based on the content they represent. Reference Ids must be unique. It is up to the publisher how they wish to create these IDs. One recommended way is to compute them from the public address of the publishing wallet and the count of tokens created in the graph.

newReferenceNodeId = keccak256(abi.encodePacked(address(user),nonce + 1));

Authorization

Authorization modules can be set to access reference nodes by utilizing the setAccessAuth() method. Reference access modules can not be set for reference nodes as they are unable to be referenced by another reference node.

Providing auth to a user reference means that a users should be able to access the asset that is being references, so long that the owner of the reference node also satisfies the reference auth module on the asset.

If a user does not satisfy the access module set but the owner of the reference node satisfies the corresponding reference module, authorization for access will be delegated to parent org nodes access modules.

Metadata

Reference nodes do not supply any additional metadata. When indexed reference nodes uris to metadata point to the original assets metadata which follows the schema of an asset node.
