Future Challenges for Linked APIs
نویسندگان
چکیده
A number of approaches combine the principles and technologies of Linked Data and RESTful services. Services and APIs are thus enriched by, and contribute to, the Web of Data. These resource-centric approaches, referred to as Linked APIs, focus on flexibility and the integration capabilities of Linked Data. We use our experience in teaching students on how to use Linked APIs to identify the existing challenges in the area. Additionally we introduce the LAPIS catalogue, a directory for Linked APIs as basis for the research to address the identified challenges.

Linked Data and Linked APIs: Similarities, Differences, and Challenges
In an often retweeted Twitter post, entrepreneur and software architect Inge Henriksen described the relation of Web 1.0 to Web 3.0 as: “Web 1.0 connected humans with machines. Web 2.0 connected humans with humans. Web 3.0 connects machines with machines.” On the one hand, an incredible amount of valuable data is described by billions of triples, machine-accessible and interconnected thanks to ...
متن کاملTight integration of Web APIs with Semantic Web
This short paper describes an initial work to facilitate a better fusion of Web APIs and Linked Data. It explores how the Semantic Web (SW) community can benefit from data available through Web APIs. We believe a tight integration of Web APIs with SW technologies like SPARQL, OWL and reasoning has several advantages over loose integration. We demonstrate how a SPARQL query can be executed again...
متن کاملLinked Web APIs Dataset Web APIs meet Linked Data
Web APIs enjoy significant increase in popularity and usage in the last decade. They have became the core technology for exposing functionalities and data. Nevertheless, due to the lack of semantic Web API descriptions their discovery, sharing, integration, and assessment of their quality and consumption is limited. In this paper, we present the Linked Web APIs dataset, an RDF dataset with sema...
متن کاملRDF-REST: A Unifying Framework for Web APIs and Linked Data
There has been a lot of efforts to bridge the gap between web APIs and linked data. The RDF-REST framework, that we developed in the process of building a RESTful service using linked data, is part of them. This paper presents the approach adopted in the RDF-REST framework, and show its benefits in the design and use of web APIs. One of these benefits is an easy integration of existing APIs wit...
