Content negotiation

Integrating : Integrating with Focal Point® by using REST RDF APIs : Content negotiation

Content negotiation

Resource Description Framework (RDF) REST API supports RDF/XML, RDF/Turtle, and RDF/n3 formats. Standard HTTP Accept header content negotiation can be used to select the resource format. When making the REST API calls, you can use these HTTP Accept header values to specify the preferred format:

Accept header value	Preferred format
application/rdf+xml	rdf/xml
application/x-turtle	rdf/turtle
application/rdf+n3	rdf/n3
application/xml	xml
application/html	html

For convenience, you can view the Focal Point^® resources by appending these extensions to the URL:

.html

.rdf

.n3

.ttl

.xml

For example, to view resources in RDF, use this URL in a web browser:

http://<hostname>:<portnumber>/fp/resources/.rdf

Note The URL mode of view resources takes precedence over the HTTP Accept headers.
