Fielding's paper and the URI definition make pretty good boundaries. The concepts that "on the web" means: 1. Unification of address and name space through application of the URI definitions to enable the identification of resources 2. Application of consistent interface semantics as exemplified by HTTP to ensure access to resources seems clear enough. Now: Does item 1 imply that all URIs should use http: in the URI string for namespaces? Does item 2 imply that only HTTP-defined semantics as defined in the Fielding REST architecture must be implemented in any other protocol that claims to enable web-access? RDF and the SemWeb concepts are interesting in themselves. They aren't currently required in items 1 and 2 above. However, they are defined in terms of these, yes? So aren't they web-application only? IOW, one only gets these if one is working within the web architecture per items one and two? len -----Original Message----- From: Mike Champion [mailto:mc@x...] Sent: Monday, April 15, 2002 9:30 AM To: xml-dev Subject: Re: RE: Will Web Services Kill HTTP? 4/15/2002 9:56:33 AM, "Bullard, Claude L (Len)" <clbullar@i...> wrote: >So it seems to me that clarity in the defining and >bounding architectures is vital. Very true. "The Web Architecture" is not defined by the W3C except in some non- normative musings by Tim Berners-Lee, and Roy Fielding's exposition of the more abstract REST principles. Nor is the "SOAP" architecture (if there is one), or the "Web RPC" architecture defined anywhere that I know of.
