Please excuse the rather geeky cross-post, but there's a lot of activity in
the linked data world at the moment and as there's some cross-over into the
museum world, I thought people might find this interesting.
For the non-geeks: linked data and APIs are both ways of making information
on the web intelligible to machines as well as to people. This helps make
data re-usable through mashups and could help make it easier to search and
use information across museum collections.
cheers, Mia

Hi all,
Yesterday, at the 2nd Linked Data London Meetup, Dave Reynolds, Jeni
Tennison and myself ran a workshop introducing some work we've been
doing around a "Linked Data API". The API is intended to be a
middle-ware layer that can be deployed in-front of a SPARQL endpoint
providing a powerful RESTful API that delivers simple XML/JSON formats
that integrate well with existing developer tools.
The current draft specification is at:
http://purl.org/linked-data/api/spec
And there is now a mailing list available at:
http://code.google.com/p/linked-data-api/
We'd be interested in your feedback. Please join the list if you're
interested in discussing the API specification or collaborating on the
work and implementations.
Cheers,
L.
