Thanks to a bit of creative re-purposing, museum-api.pbwiki.com is open for sharing, discussing, arguing over and hopefully coming to some common agreements on APIs and data schemas for museum collections.
What you can do:
- Upload or copy and paste some examples from your collections data schemas – whether that’s nicely marked up xml, a table structure from the databases that feed your website, even plain old HTML from an online page.
- Link to your API, tell us what’s worked, which ideas we should pinch
- List the functionality of your API (through documentation, examples, whatever)
- Talk about how you decided how to implement your API
- Start a discusion with your questions, unresolved issues
