<p>
Non-normative: the messaging SPI defines when messages are emitted by a Fedora
implementation, the minimal set of data contained in those messages and how
those data are serialized. These messages allow clients to react to repository
changes asynchronously and may be used to support external integrations. The
structure of these messages draw upon the existing [[activitystreams-core]] and
[[ldn]] specifications.

Non-normative: consumers of these messages SHOULD NOT expect a strict ordering of
the events reported therein: the fact that a message for Event A is received before
a message for Event B should not imply that Event A occurred before Event B.
Implementations MAY choose to make further guarantees about ordering.
