[Developers] "link" and the "operation"

[Christopher Dummy]

I couldn't find any documentation on /type/link which is used for
properties. I'm trying to understand what some of the values can be and what
they mean.

        {
          "guid": "#9202a8c04000641f8000000000014a39",
          "link": {
            "timestamp": "2008-01-16T22:08:24.0000Z",
            "operation": "insert",
            "valid": false
          },
          "name": "Electronic music"
        },
        {
          "guid": "#9202a8c04000641f8000000000014a39",
          "link": {
            "timestamp": "2008-01-16T22:11:12.0000Z",
            "operation": "delete",
            "valid": null
          },
          "name": "Electronic music"
        }

I assume the "valid" refers to whether the link is valid or not. the UI will
display just the valid links. For that reason, "delete" doesn't have a true
or false value since it doesn't represent a link. Is that correct?

I've seen the operations  "insert", "update", "delete".

Are there any other operations that can happen? Is there a time when the
"delete" operation might have something other than a null for valid?
