The Web Universal Plug and Play (WUPnP) Cheatsheet:

Web Universal Plug and Play (WUPnP) Cheatsheet

Essentially, if you build an application and use the technologies suggested in the “glue section” then your web application/service (whether it’s front-end or back-end) will fit into many many other web applications/services… and therefore also more manageable for the future! This is WUPnP.

Key technologies for making your services/applications as sticky as possible:

  • Dereferenceable URI’s (which indicate HTTP networking)
  • OpenID
  • OAuth
  • SPARQL
  • Linked Data RDF (or RDFa) and OWL

Web-based plug and play fun!

    […] essentially a data silo, and it doesn’t adhere to the WUPnP concept. It’s an entirely proprietary route which I am highly disappointed at Apple for, […]

    Hi Daniel,

    It’s nice to see you are reusing something familiar like MVC to explain this. However, be warned that most people will expect this triad to consider room for business logic in the controller part.

    I suggest you put some recommendations, or at least a placeholder, for business services ( transactional, write, aggregates, etc ).

    Most apps are Read-Write.

    I already had someone from my staff ask me this question while looking at the diagram.
    How do I write stuff back?

    My suggestion would be ROA ( REST style stuff )…

    Best,
    A

    Hi Aldo.

    You raise a valid point about writing back, and there are two ways which I promote:

    • REST based updates
    • SPARQL-Update, which is an addition to the SPARQL language

    I will probably revise the diagram at some point with the read-write flow. But the above is literally just the essentials.

    Many thanks,
    Daniel
