Woohoo, the new RESTwiki has an RSS feed; http://rest.blueoxen.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?action=rss Thanks, Eugene. Mark. -- Mark Baker. Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA....
Hi, in the work I currently do, the issue described below keeps popping up and I just can't figure out, what exactly REST's position about it is. I would be...
... Anyone can name anything. Not only can you have two URIs for the same resource, you can't stop me creating a URI for it too. ... This is what you do in...
... XSLT will do that? If the hit on the above url triggers an xslt stylesheet, which references an XML document which lists the remote url's, it can collate...
The idea of a URL referencing more than one resource or indirectly referencing a resource, as in (1) below, does not sit comfortably with me. I assume a...
I'm in strong agreement with Donald. The whole issue of a single resource being a 'composite' of other hidden data elements is an interesting line of...
... Thanks for all the comments so far. One more thought: I think the problem can be generalized to the question how information (contributing representation...
... Also, when taking this from my limited (controled) data integration example to Semantic Web scale, who gets to make the decision what is primary and what...
Jan, ... If you're asking whether REST constrains the first URI's representation to be a substring of the second, I think the answer is an obvious 'no'. Why...
... While I keep thinking about this, here is another way to address this issue: Here is the parameter-style again I try to avoid: "give me all you know about...
Jan, ... http://www.markbaker.ca/2001/09/draft-baker-http-resource-state-model-01.txt ... I think Roy has spent an inordinate amount of time explaining that...
... example to ... are ... resource ... REST. My opinion is that it is hidden by the HTTP implementation of REST (other than proxy servers). Prohibited might...
... Cool - I didn't realize this was what you were asking. ... additional ... sense? ... will ... Yes - you'd be breaking new ground, but totally within the...
... Yes, right. I saw that error when I hit send, but I thought the point would come accross without a corrective note ;-) ... Yes, a single server-application...
Instiki is a nice wiki implementation by David Heinemeier Hansson. He has written a lot of very nice software (Basecamp, Rails). Instiki uses hrefs and GET to...
This weblog post describes the development of the design of a URL structure for BBC Radio 3. It gives a seperate URL to each episode of each programme. It is...
Hmm I get nothing but 'Bad Request'... Not sure what rollback is meant to do but if it meant to change the page back to the previous revision & throw away the...
... Well, glad you like it ;-) Here is how the intermediary could make sure it is notified when the 'primary' resource changes (assuming that it maybe holds a...
So, I've been thinking about the optimal verb set ... we're a bit /too/ constrained by HTTP, specifically with respect to GET. Many times, I've noticed the...
... Josh, I am facing exactly the same problem. Suppose an RDF document is 'running through' an intermediary which intends to augment the representation with...
While I can't say I've run in to this problem in practice, I do have a suggestion. I've been wondering about attaching extra semantics to query strings, as...
... It sounds to me like the intermediary is a resource itself, with a dependancy on the resource of which the RDF document is a representation. So, you can...
I've been thinking about batch operations as well. I don't think they are externally differentiable from non-batch operations - other than they are typically...

... That's sweet... and interesting, because (IMHO) the semantics of such a COPY tell the server to 'become' (behave like) a user agent and then do a PUT. This...
... BTW, in case it wasn't clear, that's COPY from WebDAV. ... Hmm, that seems more like PUT to me since the data has to travel to where that command is...
... One more thing: this really isn't an appropriate use of a hyperlink (<a> tag) from a UI perspective; it can't be traversed, bookmarked, spidered, etc. I...
