Research on Application of RDFa in RESTful Web Services

摘要

Representational State Transfer (REST) is an architectural style that conforms to Web feature. Recently, people try to design simpler and more scalable Web services based on REST. This kind of Web Services is called Restful Web Services. Service representation is directly related to the quality of Restful Web Services. So Representation design is a common-concerned issue. In this paper, we proposed an innovative service representation method with RDFa. Service representations with semantics are developed. RDFa is compared with other micro format to demonstrate its technical merits and feasibility.
