ResourceHosting is a simple Linked Data read & write interface using only HTTP commands. In the concept it is similar to the Linked Data Platform but less sophisticated. It has no complex storage structure underneath, just an RDF file. The ResourceHosting was implemented as part of the Structured Feedback Protocol prototype. (The paper Structured Feedback: A Distributed Protocol for Feedback and Patches on the Web of Data was presented at the LDOW2016 Workshop of the WWW conference.)
