The Named Resource Service provides the ability to work with resources in the repository. It provides a set of common operations that you can use to add, list, update, delete, and search resources in the repository. The advantage of this is that you can administer the repository's resources at the service level, with a simple SOAP API that allows you to manage your content.
The Named Resource Service provides operations that:
- list all resources (or a subset) in the repository
- add a resource to the repository
- modify a resource that exists in the repository
- delete a resource from the repository
- read a resource from the repository to return the definition
- search for resources in the repository
