Abstract

Query expressions, such as LINQ (language integrated queries) queries, are enabled to be translated to URIs (uniform resource indicators) that may be used to query data sources at REST (representational state transfer) interfaces. A compiler is configured to convert a query into an expression tree. An expression tree normalizer is configured to normalize the expression tree into a normalized expression tree. A resource bound expression tree generator is configured to transform the normalized expression tree into a resource bound expression tree. A URI generator is configured to translate the resource bound expression tree into a URI.
