"if you start pursuing a hypermedia-style route, be sure to post to the hypermedia-web list. lots of smart folks there who can offer feedback. cheers." - MikeAmundsen

"no problem. love what you're working on here. i did something a bit dff several years ago by focusing on a higher-level abstraction of links and forms -- H-Factors. http://amundsen.com/hypermedia... the idea is to identify common actions within media-types and give them a name. most all media types support the LO factor (link-outbound) and few support the LI factor (idempotent write). and so forth." - MikeAmundsen

"check out Stephen Mizell's HyperDescribe project: http://smizell.com/weblog/2014... I think you two may be working toward a similar goal." - MikeAmundsen

"Kin: Thanks for the shout-out on ALPS. I should point out that ALPS is a joint effort I am working on w/ Mark Foster of Apiary and is based on ideas initially worked out w/ Leonard Richardson (Richardson Maturity Model, RESTful Web Services, RESTful Web APIs, etc.). As you can tell from the thread you're watching, there is still quite a bit of work to be done to make ALPS useful and I am always willing to talk w/ folks about it anytime, anywhere. Anyone interested in helping us sort this out and make it better can visit http://alps.io and find links to the current IETF Draft, the repo and discussion list. Thanks for putting us in your radar!" - MikeAmundsen
