'''REpresentational State Transfer''' or '''REST''' is the simplest way to extend web services to mobile devices, scanners, remote controls on TVs, telephones, radios and such. It refers to a list of axioms defined at [[W3]] and later refined by [[Roy Fielding]]. These were originally defined to describe [[HTTP]], the basis of the web itself. It does not make the bad assumptions of RDF/OWL or SOAP, which are under the control of large bureaucratic organizations. To catch up on this see the excellent [[MoinMoinWiki]] on it [http://internet.conveyor.com/RESTwiki/moin.cgi/RestResources at RESTwiki] and especially the [http://internet.conveyor.com/RESTwiki/moin.cgi/RestFaq REST FAQ] and [http://internet.conveyor.com/RESTwiki/moin.cgi/GFDLTextCorpus a project to decentralize control of] the [[GFDL text corpus]] and [http://internet.conveyor.com/RESTwiki/moin.cgi/WikiPedia dissolve Wikipedia] into a protocol, that could prototype the [[Consumerium protocol]] itself...! Also note, please, that most contributors are anonymous trolls, as always for the best wikis, and that they leave the troll logo of MoinMoin proudly visible. Hurray for trolls!
