h3. REST Interfaces - CRUD Operations

The Contact Service offers a RESTful interface to CRUD (create, read, update, and delete) operations on individual Contact items. Because contact info is always associated to a Person or Organization, the resource model will reflect this. Applications will not read individual items but rather will search for items associated to a given person or organization. These will then be organized by media type and priority. Create operations will similarly add an item associated to a person or organization. Update, and Delete operations could reference individual items, but we may preserve the association path for consistency and as an additional sanity check.
