IAG output 2 open API
1. Content Sharing and Open APIs Duncan Edwards KS Innovations Manager IDS Knowledge Services 15 June 2011
2. What’s the problem? Knowledge intermediaries siloed/fragmented Many organisations doing their own thing Some duplication Not adding value to each other MK4D is helping to support organisations to adopt behaviours, systems, and standards to enable knowledge intermediaries to work more effectively together.
3. What is an Open API? An API provides a mechanism by which external programs can communicate with it and even access or exchange data. APIs allows data exchange between websites, applications and organizations, while the data source remains in the same place. Applications built using APIs are commonly called ‘mashups’ – combining data and functionality from different programmes. For instance, APIs let you grab statistics from a website and use them on your own website. That way one does not have to access individually other websites, but can instantly combine data from different websites (Source: www.web2fordev.net).
