I hope so. :D

Actually I used the terms described in the single descriptions of the use
cases
and the names of the functions mentioned in the right column of
https://at.projects.genivi.org/wiki/display/NAV/IVI+NavigationW3CUseCasesAndGENIVIAPIs
But I am open for any suggestions concerning the naming of the properties.

I wanted to create micro services that are "as restful as" possible. I
tried to include
concepts like separation of concerns etc. My proposal is just a first draft
so as
I sad I'm open for any suggestions.

I think you're talking about the xml api specification of the GENIVI API
which
you want to use for api generation. (did I get this right) To be honest: I
did not
examined the xml yet.

Kind regards,
