A resource in the REST space is an abstract thing. The OCF Core specs don't say much about this, as they defer to other documents (W3C, mainly), but when they do they veer away from the abstract nature. From definitions: 3.1.23 Resource represents an Entity modelled and exposed by the Framework 3.1.9 Entity an aspect of the physical world that is exposed through a Device The fact that the resources that have been discussed so far do indeed have a close mapping to physical "things" so create/delete are not as useful looking, does not mean that will always be the case. Security related resources are far more abstract, and here it does make sense to do create/delete. e.g. ACL resources are created and deleted. Check the security spec where creation and deleting are mentioned a number of times. _______________________________________________ iotivity-dev mailing list iotivity-dev@lists.iotivity.org https://lists.iotivity.org/mailman/listinfo/iotivity-dev
