1. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and memory, the memory storing executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, implement a service layer of a communications network and cause the service layer to perform operations comprising:
storing, in the memory of the apparatus, one or more common attributes of one or more resources, so as to define one or more resource representation common parts (RRCPs), wherein the one or more common attributes comprise one or more static values usable, with portions of resources of the one or more resources, for one or more operations;
receiving, from a device or application on the communications network, a request message comprising information indicating a portion of a resource of the one or more resources and one or more identifiers associated with the one or more RRCPs;
retrieving, from the memory in response to the request message, the one or more RRCPs associated with the one or more identifiers; and
processing the request message based on the portion of the resource and the corresponding one or more RRCPs.
