In the first article we began exploring how application software could made to be as flexible as the World Wide Web by following a REST or RESTful design approach [1]. To make it clear that we are not talking about REST using the HTTP protocol and its methods (GET, POST, etc.) we will adopt the term "Resource Oriented Computing" or ROC to refer to our approach. This name comes from a fundamental point about the approach: resources are identified by URI addresses and are requested by clients. You might think of ROC as a refinement or evolution of RESTful design thinking, applied to application software.
