Light Application level API (Discussion)

Participants

Seth Carbon,

Description

Broadly, we’d like to look at transferring users between curation/annotation web applications in a generalizable and sane way. Stated more specifically, the use case that we wish to look at is how to obtain small packets of specific information from an external resource that has its own associated web application.

Additional context

This is a continuation of work from BH16, BLAH3, and other previous work. Documentation is currently centralized here: https://github.com/kltm/lala , with a brief overview intended for a BOSC 2017 BoF: https://github.com/kltm/lala/blob/master/bosc_2017_lightning/abstract.pdf .

Goals

• The sole goal is to further discussion about the best way to do this, using the above as a possible starting point.
