It's in the first line of the REST chapter[1] of the original thesis:

    (...) Representational State Transfer (REST) architectural style for distributed
    hypermedia systems (...)
Roy Fielding also talks about Hypertext[2], which means essentially the same (hypermedia being an expansion of the concept of hypertext).

It's from the 60s, when hypertext was invented: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypermedia
