Web Services
W3C Definition: A Web service is a software system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over a network.

REpresentational State Transfer

An Architectural Style, Not a Standard Using Standarts and Lightweight
Based on HTTP

Resources as URLs, Operations as HTTP methods

REpresentational State Transfer

Four Verbs For Every Noun

- GET to retrieve information - POST to add new information - PUT to update information - DELETE to discard information

REpresentational State Transfer

REpresentational State Transfer

Architectural style, not a protocol Series of constraints: Client-server Stateless Cacheable Layered system Code-on-demand Uniform interface Our focus today: resources, uniform interface "What is the noun, what is the verb?" Resource Orientated Architecture (ROA)

OData SAP NetWeaver Gateway

OData Open Data Protocol

http://www.odata.org/
The Open Data Protocol (OData) is an open protocol for sharing data. It provides a way to break down data silos and increase the shared value of data by creating an ecosystem in which data consumers can interoperate with data producers in a way that is far more powerful than currently possible, enabling more applications to make sense of a broader set of data. Every producer and consumer of data that participates in this ecosystem increases its overall value.
OData was initiated by Microsoft to attempt to provide a standard for platformagnostic interoperability.

Widely used, for example, by Twitter, Twilio, Amazon, Facebook, eBay, YouTube, Yahoo!
