Response to: Accessing multiple ressources using GET
This may help: "users should not derive metadata from the URI itself". (From Hao He, "Implementing REST Web Services: Best Practices and Guidelines", http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/08/11/rest.html) That implies that the number or codes in the URIs used by your RESTful service to identify unique, individual sensor readings should not correspond to a physical numbering or coding scheme used by those readings. That's because that scheme could well change later on, or the service might need to support multiple numbering or coding schemes for such data.
