Representational State Transfer
REST
REST is an architectural style for networked information systems centered around information resources and their representations. To wit: the representational state of a hypermedia resource is transferred between client and server. These states are identified by URLs, and therefore subsequent representational states in the process are embedded in the current state (a concept abstrusely known as HATEOAS). This architectural style can be implemented on the Web but is not exclusively bound to it.
REST (Representational State Transfer) is an architectural style of (originally but not necessarily confined to Web) software, wherein a resource (identified, e.g., by a URI) is considered to be a state in a state machine, and its representation (content) contains the list of subsequent states (i.e., links to other URIs). REST has a considerable amount in common with Linked Data.
