Introduction to OSF Web Services

OSF Web Service is the open source Web services framework. OSF Web Service is a generally RESTful middleware layer that provides the bridge between existing content and structure and content management systems and available indexing engines and RDF data stores.

OSF Web Service also provides a platform-independent means for distributed collaboration via an innovative dataset access paradigm. It is designed to be expanded and is available under Apache2 license.
