RESTful write-oriented API for hyperdata in custom RDF knowledge bases

The Linked Data movement has been very successful in bringing large amounts of open RDF data on the Web. Much research and development work has been done on publishing Linked Data, while update access to linked data sources has been neglected. This paper presents a configurable approach to creating custom RESTful APIs for writing and updating linked data. In the spirit of hypertext, the approach fully embraces hyperlinking and resource descriptions, resulting in an update-enabled hyperdata.
