Ben Abrahamse, Chair of the Standing Committee on Applications, has agreed to convene and coordinate this subgroup activity.  The API review/testing group will be a collaboration between interested members of SCA and any of the ISNI pilot participants.  A technical contact from ISNI will also participate as needed.

The group will begin its work in October 2017.

Activities will include:

• • Review ISNI API documentation to learn functionality and gaps.  For members there are two ISNI APIs :
    1. SRU Search API for members
    2. The AtomPub API:  the AtomPub API allows members and RAG’s to submit ISNI requests using the ISNI Request schema.
        
  • Test functionality according to varied use cases
  • Determine ease of use and identify support or additional documentation that would be necessary for PCC members availing themselves of this self-service model
  • Identify and prioritize development roadmap for ISNI for maximum benefit of API interaction with ISNI

Institutions listed here have expressed interest in working on this subgroup topic. Others are welcome!

• Columbia University
• Harvard University
• Michigan State University
• Stanford University
• UCLA
• University of California Davis
