UC Create a Collection

Motivation

Collections are generic storage containers and can for example be used as:

A sort of folder structure, where files are mapped as items and sub folders are mapped as sub collections in the hierarchy.
A simple container for a number of items and collections.
A representation of a Non Linear Editor (NLE) “bin”.
A representation of an entity in your domain.
