Resource Oriented Computing White Paper

White paper

The fundamental principles of ROC include:

• Resource - A resource is an abstract set of information.
• Identity - Each resource may be identified by one or more logical identifiers.
• Resolution - A logical identifier may be resolved within an information-context to obtain a physical resource-representation.
• Computation - Computation is the reification of a resource to a physical resource-representation.
• Immutability - Resource representations are immutable.
• Transreption - Transreption (short for transrepresentation) is the isomorphic lossless transformation of one physical resource-representation to another.
