hi,
honestly, 630 also confused me with the depth. For instance, "If depth=0, then all referenced entities just RootEntity objects which contains only ID and @type (may contain name and href" is probably missing a verb between "entities" and "just".
The example on page 32, shows depth is set at level 3 in the request, and yet, the response doesn't show the full objects for category, channel, place... which are present at level 1. but only their IDs (and @type and ref).
If depth was 3, place should show full details, not just id.
It would have helped if the document had 3 examples, no depth vs level 0 vs level 3.

Subject: Is depth=0 different from not providing depth parameter at all?
Hi,
TMF630 part 2 states that: "If depth=0, then all referenced entities just RootEntity objects which contains only ID and @type (may contain name and href)".
I do not understand this. Here are my questions:
- what is "RootEntity"?
- why only id and @type are required? Sholdn't "href" also be required?
- is the behavior any different from not providing depth param at all?
Thank you for any help!
