Structure of resources
All records available within the REST API are located into a resource tree as a resources. Resources are identified by their path or rather by a URL. Resources may be read or updated by standard HTTP requests. Resources are available by a GET request in HTML format and so they may be directly viewed and browsed by a standard web browser. Every resource may carry any of following types of information:
- data – represents an actual value, quality and time-stamp of a configuration parameter or a signal which may be input, output, parameter, etc.,
- meta-data – represents information about properties of a data, which may be a type, range, etc.,
- children list – represents information about another resources that belongs to the resource as children resources, the children list is a part of meta-data.
