25   * A marker annotation to indicate that the annotated class should be interpreted as an annotated CREST
26   * collection provider resource.
27   * <p>
28   * Individual operations can then be supported by either annotating a method with the relevant annotation, or
29   * by naming the method according to the following convention:
30   * <ul>
31   *     <li>{@code create} for create methods.</li>
32   *     <li>{@code read} for read methods.</li>
33   *     <li>{@code update} for update methods.</li>
34   *     <li>{@code delete} for delete methods.</li>
35   *     <li>{@code patch} for patch methods.</li>
36   *     <li>{@code query} for generic query methods.</li>
37   * </ul>
38   * Note that action methods do not have a convention and MUST be annotated using the {@link Action} annotation.
