The goal is to exposé portal services to follow REST principles, as much as possible. Service methods that will be exposed are marked with REST annotation specifing mapped URI and HTTP method.

Since reinventing the wheel is almost never a good idea, we won't be creating our own RESTful protocol and will reuse as much as possible of AtomPub and the Gdata extensions to it (for example the JSON equivalent to the Atom XML).
