interface template [was: [soa-rm] Groups - Draft - Minutes-SOA-RM TC Mtg, 20 January 2016.doc uploaded]

Martin,

Reading through the minutes, I was intrigued by the line “Could granularity relate also to how many different services are needed:can I have single general-purpose format with a Zip-code parameter vs. different endpoints for each variation, e.g. each Zip code.”

How would we compare

[1] http://find-location.com/{zipcode}

with

[2] http://find-location.com?zipcode={zipcode}

where {zipcode} is a consumer provided value?

Each of these is an easily documented pattern that supports extensibility through a common interface pattern.  [1] identifies separate endpoints but it doesn’t seem as “wrong” as

[3] http://find-location-{zipcode}

which somehow doesn’t strike me as what we’d want in an interface.

Thoughts?

Ken
