## Process ##

Beyond the obvious of 

* Short as possible
* Readable (Guids are not)
* Using Resources (Nouns), not Verbs
* Human Predicatable/Guessable


Less obvious is:

* Hackable "up the tree" (`http//.../v1.0/Students/Graduated/` should be hackable to  `http//.../v1.0/Students/`)
* Avoid  Query Args
