T2TRG,

As presented in the summary meeting, we are planning to add two new terms to the RESTful design for IoT Systems draft: "transfer protocols" and "transfer layer":
https://github.com/t2trg/t2trg-rest-iot/pull/47/files

The current draft definitions are:

   Transfer protocols:  In particular in IoT domain, protocols above
      transport layer that are used to transfer data objects and provide
      semantics for operations on the data.

   Transfer layer:  Re-usable part of the application layer used to
      transfer the application specific data items using a standard set
      of methods that can fulfill application-specific operations.

Comments welcome!

Cheers,
Ari
