HTTP-based web service architecture that

uses nouns and verbs to define operations

Noun: “Items”

Verbs: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE

OData provides metadata, object typing and

query semantics for underlying data

structure (WCF data services)

/items(0)

Client Object Model service (client.svc)

processes queries, interacts with server OM,

returns formatted response (JSON, XML)

/items/GetByTitle(‘foo’)

http://contoso/_api/items/GetById(1)?$select=Title,ID
