How to GET a cup of coffee - Restbucks with Hydra

Hi,

I have added a Wiki page which collects previous emails about trading
flows with schema.org and adds one more use-case: Continue Shopping

https://www.w3.org/community/hydra/wiki/Restbucks_with_Hydra

Initially, it covers the use cases:
- Telling the client how to order based on offers made by a business
- Allowing the client to add or remove add-ons to the initial order
- Continue shopping

Please have a look and give feedback.

The point to prove is that with Schema.org and hydra, we have the
necessary properties to support non-trivial trading flows. Non trivial
in the sense that we can do much more than simple "Buy this product"
interactions.

If the wiki article has no fundamental flaws and hydra services and
clients use the properties as proposed in the wiki article, we have
discovered nothing less than a media-type with semantics for universal
trading flows. I.e. if someone puts up a service and offers goods as
outlined by the article, every hydra client could work with the service.
Payment and delivery are open points, but I didn't run into
unsurmountable problems so far, so I tend to hope we can design that, too.

Note to self: ask Manu Sporny about web payments in this context :)

If that succeeds, we would have created the equivalent of atom for
newsfeeds, only for trading flows. You need only one client to handle
many trading locations.

Best regards,
Dietrich
