Abstract
The claimed subject matter provides a representational state transfer (REST) interface over a data store characterized by an entity data model (EDM) architecture. Such characterization can be presented by way of an Entity Framework that can transform data characterized in one manner at a relational database into an EDM characterization that can further be exposed to an external process or device. A REST interface over EDM stores can provide an end-to-end framework to expose data, modeled in a highly-expressive fashion, to the Internet or a web-scale intranet.

10. A method for providing information relating to an EDM store, comprising:
-
explicitly defining a resource store characterized by at least one EDM item; and mapping at least one EDM item to a stateless, uniform interface for transporting requests and results relating to the resource store. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A system that provides access to an EDM store through a stateless, uniform interface comprising:
-
means for characterizing data that maps an EDM schema to a data store; and means for mapping an interface to a data store that overlays the EDM schema with a stateless, uniform URI interface. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
