RESTful Interface

The REST interface allows machine-to-machine interaction in a 1) most simple, 2) most efficient way.

The REST (for: REpresentational State Transfer) idea is maybe best described in the relevant Wikipedia article, with links to Roy Fielding's work.

Therefore, there is no need for a separate layer taking care of data interchange (or metadata interchange), since all data can be accessed directly on our machine.

Yes, you can access all of our data directly and even perform your own queries on our data, using our interface, but for PRIVATE or STUDY use only. For commercial use, please refer to Dr. Parisi Presicce.
