-actually it is a work in progress.
+this is a C++ implementation of the [opencoin protocol](https://opencoin.org/0.4/OpenCoin.html)
+done as mapping to some kind of REST interface.
+
+As all issuer related interactions of the protocol follows a request/response mechanism we are able to map all of them to Http-Requests.
+
+We decided to use POST-Requests in all cases, 
+as the protocol uses JSON-formatted messages for requests.
+
+The following table gives an overview of the mapping of requests to URLs:
+
+| Request           | URL          | Response                      | C++ Interface Method                               |
+|:------------------|:-------------|:------------------------------|:---------------------------------------------------|
+| RequestCDDCSerial | /cddc/serial | ResponseCDDCSerial            | cdd.cdd_serial of Model::getCurrentCDDC() |
+| RequestCDDC       | /cddc        | ResponseCDDC                  | Model::getCurrentCDDC()                            |

+| RequestRenew      | /renew       | ResponseMint or ResponseDelay | ?                                                  |
+| RequestResume     | /resume      | ResponseMint or ResponseDelay | ?                                                  |
