Hey all, I was wondering about the best way to RESTfully model information retrievals versus queries in REST. Imagine an Artist structure with name, genre,...
Hi Dave, The best way is to have the query do just that -- present a list of query results. If you actually want it to direct the client to a single match,...

I don't like the idea of keeping the URI construction opaque from the client because I don't want the extra round trip to get the list. And I think it's too...

This sounds very relevant to how XForms could use GET. I am assuming that we want the stronger constraint of bookmarkability, right? Not just caching? So that...

I was further thinking about modeling of identifiers in xml versus URIs and the use of them in relation to other fields for queries. It seems that any XML...
