Talk:Resource-oriented architecture

I would like to remove complete or mostly the following sections Why the Web? Join the Conversation The World of Representations They seem more like an interpretation and personal knowledge building exercise, than capturing the state of ROA as people discuss it today.

I would suggest that we keep this page seperate from the REST page, as it is a specific implementation / set of guidelines that avoids the nebulous nature of the REST related debates. This is documented in Sam Ruby's RESTFul Web Services. Ozten 23:31, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

REST is more famous of ROA, but - in my opinion - many of the concepts that are exposed under the Representational State Transfer page are more appropriate in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.16.210.104 (talk) 17:42, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, many of the concepts expressed on Representational State Transfer seem very specific to Ruby on Rails's REST implementation, and not to a more general ROA approach. Ivey (talk) 07:06, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Self-Promotion?

This article was created by a user caller Resourceoriented who provides no information about himself or herself and has made no other edits. The only sources for this article are an unpublished thesis and various blog postings. The most recent edit (06:41, September 26, 2008) is by a user called Jthelin claiming that the term was invented by someone called, er, Jorgen Thelin of Microsoft, with several references to his blog. (See Jorgen's blog.) This is a flagrant contravention of Wikipedia policies on self-promotion, and I don't think anyone else really cares anyway, so I am deleting the entire section. --RichardVeryard (talk) 18:25, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
