IDS's Amrapali Zaveri wins 'Best In-Use Paper Award'

Dr Amrapali Zaveri, along with the co-authors, won the Best In-Use Paper for the paper entitled 'smartAPI: Towards a more intelligent network of Web APIs'.

SmartAPI

The smartAPI project  aims to maximize the FAIRness (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability) of web-based Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). Rich metadata is essential to properly describe your API so that it becomes discoverable, connected, and reusable. We have developed a openAPI-based specification for defining the key API metadata elements and value sets. smartAPIs leverage the Open API specification v3 and JSON-LD for providing semantically annotated JSON content that can be treated as Linked Data.

European Semantic Web Conference

Dr. Zaveri received the award at the 14th European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC)  in Portoroz, Slovenia. The ESWC is a major venue for discussing the latest scientific results and technology innovations around semantic technologies. Building on its past success, ESWC is seeking to broaden its focus to span other relevant related research areas in which Web semantics plays an important role.
