... A client that is unaware of your overloading of the meaning of pipelining might decide to send relatively unrelated requests in huge pipelined sequences,...
Craig: love the example. other things to model: - selecting available ammo (possibly request available ammo first, etc.) - changing locations (set co-ords,...
... Or, if things go poorly, there's always the Star Trek solution: <link rel="start-self-destruct-sequence" href="..."/> Just hope the network doesn't go down...
Sorry Stefan, I did mean to reply all :) Perhaps the Netflix API would be considered RESTful, but should we be able to discover ALL of the links like Roy...
... This is basically what RDF provides: a common data model (and a bunch of defined formats for it) and a simple, distributed way for defining your "rel"...
I was afraid someone was going to bring up RDF :). Thanks for the advice, though. I'll take a look at linkeddata. -Solomon On Tue, Mar 3, 2009 at 10:58 AM,...
... I think you misread that. There might be many different entry points to an application, each of which is bookmarkable. The point was that the client only...
The relevance of the REST architectural style to Linked Data and OWL/SKOS/etc has been nagging away in the back of my mind for the last few months. The idea of...
[to the list now...] I agree that these concerns are perhaps not being adequately address in the SemWeb/LinkedData world. Roy F. talks about late binding in...
The URI is the thing. The author of a resource knows what exact semantics an identifier intends to refer to. Semantics is always application-specific. The...
Julian, I think I get what the concern is, but I may not be reading you correctly. Are you concerned that a user agent, when interpreting linked data, would...
In a recent blog post entitled "the foaf+ssl paradigm shift" I show how the foaf+ssl protocol helps create RESTful web identity for distributed open yet secure...
Does the reality imply that the entry-barrier of semantic web approaches is higher than what industry, or developers, or normal web users can accept? I am...
Thank you very much for the clarification. If I understand correctly, the single bookmark constraint means that any initial access to the REST system must...
Hi Stuart Thanks for the link - that's a very interesting paper. ... Exactly. And I think the ability to adapt to evolving meaning will be dependent on both...
It depends on how far you take it. I think SPARQL provides a very practical, reasonable way to build applications with RDF data. Toolkits like Jena or...
... No. This is an application of computers to do something useful, not a math problem or a reachability analysis. Any given client might only be able to...
Comments below ... Good question Darrel; it's straight to the point :). I hope that this email will answer that question. I also hope that this will either...
... Are you expecting that a client should "guess" the next state transition out of the blue? I'm not sure this is possible. Some knowledge has to be...
You are (almost) right I think. The difference is: Given the representation contains <link rel="some-concept" ref="/some-uri" /> you don't hardcode the string...
*RE: XHTML *It looks like a promising foundation for RESTful API Media Types. You have a whole bunch of class="<some identifier>" on your <a> tags (plus other...
... Well in a sense they are, because the protocol exists in text that is outside of the client. The client is not determining what "rel" inline, its...
Here is an interesting survey of rel values in use on the web. http://blog.unto.net/web/a-survey-of-rel-values-on-the-web/ ... Yes the client must understand...
