Re: [core] What is the best introduction to CoRE aims and rationale?

Hi John,

while there is no single document that addresses your needs here, may I point you to a T2TRG draft [1]:

  "RESTful Design for Internet of Things Systems", Ari Keranen, Matthias
  Kovatsch, Klaus Hartke, 2019-11-04, <draft-irtf-t2trg-rest-iot-05.txt>

      This document gives guidance for designing Internet of Things (IoT)
      systems that follow the principles of the Representational State
      Transfer (REST) architectural style.  This document is a product of
      the IRTF Thing-to-Thing Research Group (T2TRG).

This is less about just listing the benefits of REST-oriented design for IoT and more about telling how to actually do that, but it should contain enough material for a good start.

If you have any feedback on how to clarify the argumentation there or otherwise improve the document, I’m sure the authors [2] and/or the T2TRG mailing list [3] would appreciate that.

Grüße, Carsten
