Here are a couple of basic descriptions:
http://www.bookrags.com/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REST
http://rest.blueoxen.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ShortSummaryOfRest

I, for one, also had a very vague idea of REST, that's now
more clear (I think). 

Also from what I've read, it seems that REST is defined very
broadly, but in any case, the comparison of REST vs RPC (see
the corresponding section in the links above) is a good
choice, as it does a good job of illustrating what
REST is and what it isn't, by example.
