Claim 0:
1. An apparatus comprising a processor, a memory, and communication circuitry, the apparatus being connected to a communications network via its communication circuitry, the apparatus further comprising computer-executable instructions stored in the memory of the apparatus which, when executed by the processor of the apparatus, cause the apparatus to:
receive, in a first system compliant with a first communications protocol, via the communication network and from another apparatus on the network, a request message to conduct resource discovery for resources matching specified criteria, wherein the specified criteria comprises data content constraints;
determine resources in the first system that match the data content constraints of the specified criteria, wherein each resource has an associated uniform resource identifier (URI), wherein each resource comprises an interworking avatar (IA) comprising a representation of a resource from a second system, wherein the second system is not compliant with the first system and wherein the second system is compliant with a second communications protocol, wherein the representation of the resource from the second system comprises a format compliant with the first system, and wherein the IA comprises data content matching the data content constraints of the specified criteria; and
send in the first system, via the communication network and to the other apparatus on the network, a response message indicating URIs of the resources comprising IAs that comprise data content matching the data content constraints of the specified criteria.
