An interesting reading - How to store and use metadata in REST services
The common goal of current metadata formats for REST APIs is to specify:
     Entry point(s)
    Resource paths
    Methods to access these resources (GET, POST, PUT, etc.…)
    Parameters that need to be supplied with these methods (Query, Template, HTTP Header, etc.)
    Formats of inbound / outbound messages/representations (JSON Schema, XML Schema, Relax NG, etc.)
    Status codes and error/fault messages
    Documentary information (descriptions, etc.) for all these
WSDL is a good example from SOAP world. What do we have with REST?
