It depends how we look at things. For example if if we've a resource that is a photo(or video etc...) we can not describe it as a collection. If we've resource which is a property of that photo we can indicate the context resource of this photo with the "context" link relation, as i understand and see it the "collection" link relation doesn't properly describe photo which definitely is not a collection of items itself.

Another example is a file which has various attributes(or properties), if for example i want to express these properties of the file as links i think the "property" link relation will be more correct rather than the "item" link relation IMHO.
