first of all I am new to this...REST, RDF, LDP etc.
I could able to get an understanding about REST and RDF in a vague manner:
- REST is a framework where everything is a resource and complex client side requests are converted to URI based structural requests and using HTTP methods, we will get the results in RDF resource format: XML or json format.
- RDF is a framework to explain the relational structure or in other words, conceptual model of a web resource.
- LDP seems to be same as REST, uses HTTP protocols to interact with RDF resources. What I understand is HTTP protocols are used to communicate with web services and get the result in HTML, jpeg, png or any other format, even XML too. Then what is LDP? - Does it somehow updates the XML using the HTTP methods. Can't that be done in normal architecture. other than LDP?
