REST principles define services as resources that can be manipulated by a set of well-known methods. The same approach is suitable to define service descriptions as resources. In this paper, we try to unify the two concepts (services and their descriptions) by proposing a set of best practices to build self-descriptive RESTful services accessible by both humans and machines. Moreover, to make those practices usable with little manual effort, we provide a software framework that extracts compliant descriptions from documents published on the Web, and makes them available to clients as resources.

Abstract

REST principles define services as resources that can be manipulated by a set of well-known methods. The same approach is suitable to define service descriptions as resources. In this paper, we try to unify the two concepts (services and their descriptions) by proposing a set of best practices to build self-descriptive RESTful services accessible by both humans and machines. Moreover, to make those practices usable with little manual effort, we provide a software framework that extracts compliant descriptions from documents published on the Web, and makes them available to clients as resources.
