Hi Steve,

 

We have a RESTful json API that provides access to TMS data, but if something similar were developed either as a feature of TMS itself or as a community project we’d be open to shifting gears in the name of not having to maintain something custom-built ourselves. That an API (and IIIF support) is integrated into eMuseum is encouraging.

 

To your question of importance, reading data was our first and most obvious need to support existing application but one thing we’ve come to recognize is that looking forward POST/PUT/DELETE will be just as important, as building on top of our own API has led to a steadily increasing number of cases whereby structured data around collections is being generated outside of TMS.

I would find this useful...especially as we start to have interest in integration of TMS data with other systems/services.

Hello TMS community!

 

I've seen the discussions about Linked Open Data recently.  I think LOD is great, but the more important need for us is a restful json (or xml) api. I know the new eMuseum product has this. I've seen it and it looks awesome - the product and api!

 

I am bringing this up because MoMA and Tate are discussing a system that we both have for digitally-born art for Conservation.  It uses a json api for TMS data, but it is custom built.

 

The question to all of you is much like the LOD comments; are other museums using their own json or xml web services? Is there interest to develop one?  Just wondering how important it is to others. Thanks!

 

Best regards,

 

Steve
