Hypermedia APIs

Abstract

I'll be talking about REST/Hypermedia APIs in the Linked Data/Semantic Web/RDF space. I'll give some context before I cover the papers, so if you are confused about what exactly REST is or means, we'll get that cleared up. I've included a few intro resources below if you are interested.

I think Article 1 below is a good introduction. Article 4 is pretty specific to work we'll be doing at NCBO, and is probably the least interesting from a general perspective.
