The OpenAPI project aims to help people connect with data. OpenAPI is a software architecture for wrapping component pieces of data analysis – datasets, programming scripts, etc. – in reusable modules. These simple modules can be combined in pipelines which describe more complex data analysis workflows. Modules and pipelines are created in XML, and executed in software called a glue system. This report details the improvements made to the OpenAPI architecture between versions 0.1 and 0.3.
