Abstract

The REST architectural style is a fundamental description of the Web's

underlying architecture. Recent developments of rich internet applications have

drifted away from this basic architectural style which threatens the continued

growth of applications on the Web.

We present a semantic hypermedia framework that recaptures the intent of

the "hypermedia as the engine of application state" constraint of REST by

introducing semantics into the hypermedia. Semantics enable Web clients to

intelligently process resources. We further define a formal approach using

attribute grammar to verify the semantics in the resource representation.

We include a detailed example of how this semantic hypermedia framework

can be utilized to efficiently build Web applications without sacrificing any of the

dynamism and interactivity that users expect from current Web applications.
