Daniel, Once the API is released, like other APIs, its good fodder for transformation into Linked Data and/or Addresses for RESTful interaction patterns. Many years ago the SIOC ontology was enhanced in anticipation of these kinds API oriented developments :-) As you can see, a long time ago it was RDBMS vendors and their APIs that drove data access realm. We now have lots of alternative data source types with Linked Data providing a powerful mechanism for virtualization across heterogeneous data sources. Putting distracting syntax battles aside, Linked Data is delivering an alternative (and more powerful route) to a long sought destination re. ability to construct network oriented linked data structures that provide the critical underpinnings for InterWeb scale distributed data objects. As folks start to see that RDF neither primogenitor nor sole option re. Linked Data, the real evolution of the Web into a Global Data Space will be much clearer and easier for everyone to appreciate and actually embrace.
