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.
Members: Alison Thornton, Amber Billey, Christine Fernsebner Eslao, Isabel Quintana, Lucas Mak, Susan Radovsky, Vitus Tang
The group began its work in October 2017 and anticipates completing its work by the first week in February.
Activities and deliverables include:

Suggested starting point: ISNI Atom Pub API guidelines.pdf
The AtomPub API submits single requests at a time, but could be programmed at a local level to automate submission of sequential requests as a way to make it a batch process.
