Summary:Competing visions have been jostling to define the long-term future of the Web: WS-* Web Services, the Semantic Web, and RESTful Web Services. This paper presents the initial steps towards a Rule-driven, REST-based architecture for the Web that can enable use cases that the Semantic Web and WS-* communities require. The key enabling ingredient is the use of SBVR models as a media type for resource description that allows models to be exposed and consumed. With formal description of data, advanced scenarios such as inference, service composition, and transactions are feasible within an architecture that is backwards-compatible with today’s Web.
