--------------------
A group to develop a mechanism for the automatic discovery of WebAPIs,
by
extending the schema.org vocabulary.
Increasingly, large online platforms and services provide one or more
Web
APIs for third-party developers. Moreover, many companies build WebAPIs
as
their primary product (Email API, SMS API, etc.). This has resulted in
an
explosion of the number of WebAPIs in recent years. Developers spend a
significant amount of time searching for suitable WebAPIs to meet their
needs.
Our intention is to work closely with Schema.org to define a
WebAPI-specific extension and promote usage of this extension among API
owners. In the long run, our aim is to contribute this extension into
the
core Schema.org vocabulary.
To achieve these goals we are seeking feedback and collaboration from
API
owners, DX specialists, API description language experts and maintainers
of
various API catalogs.
