The GenericRepresentation is a graphical user interface, not a REST service. In general, it is expected that applications of the Business and the Data Sanitation and Caching Layers will be implemented as REST servers. A graphical user interface, if required at all, will be provided by tools that are consuming the services provided by the REST servers. Because implementation of the REST services is expected to happen very fast compared with adapting comprehensive tools that are following strict release cycles, a generic user interface for operating all kinds of REST servers shall be provided. The individual REST server shall apply the concept of Hypermedia for managing the representation of at least its basic services in the GenericRepresentation. Because the GenericRepresentation loads information about available applications directly from the RegistryOffice, new applications can be used within seconds after becoming part of the architecture.
