Um, well, not really. REST is just REST; its a design pattern that can be implemented using any protocol. It's true that REST-over-HTTP is the most popular form, but there is nothing about stating that a design is RESTful that implies the use of HTTP.

Well, it depends on how picky you are. Albeit, this can be easily fixed by changing REST to CRUD in the core specs – that’s pretty much what we meant when saying „RESTful protocol“.

Hi,

Did I miss something in what you are flagging? This is not a contradiction. REST design is not dependent on being implemented in HTTP -- REST can be achieved with any transport.

- In the first sentence OCCI is defined as RESTful Protocol, but the text behind the second bullet says that the Core Model is HTTP independent. I think it would be very beneficial to keep the core model HTTP independent, which is also the advantage of having the Redering specifications in separate documents.
