Hello all,<br><br><br>coming back to the question "what actually is a service?" with a RESTified perspective, I had the following line of thinking:<br><br>REST (using as a synonym to HTTP/1.1) proclaims that a GET should be an idempotent description of the resource,
e.g. the service I may invoke via a POST (assuming a service to be a resource needing a certain input to produce desired output).<br><br>For ws-* people that description might be a WSDL, for normal people, this will probably be a <form>.
<br><br>Enough intro to my question: Anybody using microformats to markup forms? Something along the line "I am a service, this is my <form> expecting the following microformats".<br><br>Does that make sense? Feedback welcome!
