+====
+
+===== Lazy realization class loading and type naming
+
+The framework implements lazy type resolution of the `realize_class` argument in
+the `hal_link` command. This allows the instance to be realized on resolution to
+have its class defined after the definition of the `hal_link` command, for
+example, in the case when the class to be realized is loaded later in the
+application lifecycle.
+
+Technically, it is possible to have all models (the classes to be realized) to
+be defined before the HAL resource is created to ensure the realization classes
+are resolved. However, there are cases where classes are dynamically generated,
+resolved via registers or other mechanisms that make those classes available
+after the HAL resource is defined.
+
+This allows for greater flexibility in defining resource relationships and
+enables the use of dynamic class loading techniques.
+
+In addition, the definition of the `realize_class` argument in the `hal_link`
+command becomes useful in the case of polymorphism. The type name is used in
+Lutaml::Model for polymorphism and potentially serialized (if defined through
+Lutaml::Model serializatiion methods, as a Hal::Resource is also a
+Lutaml::Model).
+
+NOTE: This framework uses base class names (e.g., `ResourceClass`) instead of
+fully qualified namespaced class names (e.g., `MyModule::ResourceClass`) as the
+`type` attribute, by default.

 === Handling HAL pages / pagination
 
+==== General
+
 The `Lutaml::Hal::Page` class is used to handle pagination in HAL APIs.
 
 As described in <<defining_hal_page_models>>, subclassing the `Page` class
 provides pagination capabilities, including the management of links to navigate
 through pages of resources.
 
+==== Pagination navigation methods
+
+The `Page` class provides several convenience methods for navigating through
+paginated results:
+
+`#next_page`:: Returns the next page link if available, `nil` otherwise.
+
+`#prev_page`:: Returns the previous page link if available, `nil` otherwise.
+
+`#first_page`:: Returns the first page link if available, `nil` otherwise.
+
+`#last_page`:: Returns the last page link if available, `nil` otherwise.
+
+These methods return `Link` objects that can be realized using the `realize` method:
+
+[source,ruby]
+----
+# Navigate to next page
+if current_page.next_page
+  next_page = current_page.next_page.realize
+end
+
+# Navigate to previous page
+if current_page.prev_page
+  prev_page = current_page.prev_page.realize
+end
+
+# Jump to first or last page
+first_page = current_page.first_page.realize if current_page.first_page
+last_page = current_page.last_page.realize if current_page.last_page
+----
+
+==== Pagination helper methods
+
+The `Page` class also provides helper methods to check the availability of
+navigation links:
+
+`#has_next?`:: Returns `true` if there is a next page available, `false`
+otherwise.
+
+`#has_prev?`:: Returns `true` if there is a previous page available, `false`
+otherwise.
+
+`#has_first?`:: Returns `true` if there is a first page link available, `false`
+otherwise.
+
+`#has_last?`:: Returns `true` if there is a last page link available, `false`
+otherwise.
+
+`#total_pages`:: Returns the total number of pages (alias for the `pages`
+attribute).
+
+
+==== Exhaustive pagination
+
+For scenarios where you need to process all pages of results, you can combine
+the pagination methods:
+
+[source,ruby]
+----
+current_page = register.fetch(:resource_index)
+
+while current_page
+  # Process current page
+  puts "Processing page #{current_page.page} of #{current_page.total_pages}"
+
+  # Move to next page
+  current_page = current_page.next
+end
