Our industry lacks a concerted effort for standardizing APIs. While many efforts have been made, none of them have really lead to widely accepted standards for such diverse topics as interchange of project and workflow data, passing data from one tool to the next, making technologies and data interoperable. GALA has launched a community effort to define and prioritize API use cases and jointly develop concrete standards which can be implemented by tools providers, LSPs and clients alike.
