  • "The model is free. You can use our ­content elsewhere in the web. What do we get out of it? We want you to help us build an ad network," said Matt McAlister, head of the Guardian Developer Network.
  • To find related Guardian articles, the API can draw on the tagging system from its own content management system, internal search engine for guardian.co.uk provided by Endeca and a related-content service powered by Zemanta. That content is then packaged in standardised formats including XML, JSON and Atom which can easily be added to external sites.
  • "The whole idea is to spread out journalism," ­McAlister said, and APIs can lead to explosive growth.

  • Twitter's API drives 20 times more ­traffic to the service than its own website does, and Twitter's web market share passed that of social news site Digg in January. Third parties using Twitter's API have developed a huge range of services and applications that have helped drive Twitter's growth spurt.

  • Institutional Repositories Should Be Built on Open Source Software
  • Open source [1] developers and users are unusually passionate about their work, unusual in ways that make things work well. So let me begin passionately as we talk about open source as the solution for support of institutional repositories.
  • Now that we have that behind us, let's discuss some of the myths and some of the reasons for dedicating your institutional repository to the use of open source software, open standards and open formats which, I contend, are inseparable.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Institutional repositories have taken a few knocks in the six years since Cliff Lynch's “Institutional Repositories: Essential Infrastructure for Scholarship in the Digital Age” appeared in ARL 226 [4]. But I'm concerned more here about the upcoming crashes than the bumps we hit on the road to more settled standardizations. 
  • Proprietary software vendors often try to finesse the open source access promise by offering small customizable ports of entry into their code, usually as application program interfaces or APIs.
  • For a long time, it has been argued that the market, as represented by proprietary software solutions, is more responsive to the needs of users, to new requirements and to innovations. Open source is now seen as a diverse infrastructure of solutions each in competition while also free to borrow from each other.
  • The ends and the means of institutional repositories are one and the same. The infrastructure that supports open access needs to be open itself.
  • A quick glance at the most recent statistics produced by the OpenDOAR Directory of Open Access Repositories suggests that the vast majority of existing institutional repositories are currently built upon open source software.

    Proprietary software vendors often try to finesse the open source access promise by offering small customizable ports of entry into their code, usually as application program interfaces or APIs. Like software escrow promises, this is a short-term solution to our long-term problems in curation of our valuable materials within our repositories.

    These specialty products, all of which are currently sold over the good old Internet, manage to push the boundaries of extravagance and questionable taste, simultaneously. You'd be surprised how many of them are sold out.
