Formalize the core Fedora services Application Programming Interface (API)

This priority is to clearly define the core services that Fedora promises as a standards-based RESTful API, accompany this API with any necessary domain-specific ontologies, and provide a compatibility test suite. Outstanding issues can be found on GitHub.

Align the current Fedora implementation with the API specification

Once the API specification is complete, the current Fedora implementation will need to be updated to fully align with the specification. This work will result in a 5.x Fedora release based on our move to semantic versioning.

Support alternate Fedora implementations

One of the goals of the API specification is to allow the community to experiment with different back-end Fedora implementations to address different use cases. We will support and encourage community members as they experiment along these lines.
