Some more links to coverage of the Guardian’s Open Platform API announcement (some of these found via blogs.journalism.co.uk, thanks):
- Simon Dixon, former web chief of the Office for National Statistics, examines the Guardian’s Data Store, saying “I warned them [the ONS] that someone would come along, do a better job than they were doing, and supplant them as the ‘primary source’ .”
- Journalism.co.uk’s article
- Online Journalism Blog compares the openness of UK newspaper websites (laughably, most have T&Cs which forbid ‘unauthorised linking’!)
- NiemanJournalismLab says ‘the Guardian ups the ante on APIs’
- Jeff Jarvis talks of APIs being ‘the new distribution’
- NewsCred blog gets straight to the point: ‘The Guardian is embracing commercial usage of their content via the API. The New York Times is not.’
- Cass Sculpture Foundation is using the API to add more news coverage to its pages
