Google Maps have changed the response time of Web-GIS using AJAX technologies. In addition, Google released the Open API named Google Maps API(Application Programming Interface) and it lead to the big paradigm on the Open API, where the SDK(Software Development Kit) and ASP(Application Service Provider) had ruled at the related map market. In short, the Open API has been paradigm-shifting for the web mapping. After this, government, many companies and open source foundations have guided Web-GIS market's growth through releasing the relevant Open APIs. So many comparative analysis on web-mapping API carried out by many researches. However there were no researches that can be applied to our current domestic environments. This paper investigates components of web-mapping API. Then we compare how many components supported and enumerate features for each of those APIs. Finally this paper presents direction of future development of Web Mapping API.

최근 매쉬업에 대한 관심도가 매우 높아짐에 따라 수많은 Web API들이 생성되고 있다. 이런 Web API들을 매쉬업 속으로 결합할 때 여러 가지 이슈들이 존재한다. 특히, 수많은 API들이 매쉬업 개발자에 의해 수동으로 조합될 때 이는 더욱 심각해진다. 본 논문에서는 Web API 발견 및 조합을 위한 하나의 새로운 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 발견 기법은 질의를 만족시키지 못하는 API들을 재빨리 필터링 시키는 전략을 수립한다. API 조합 기법은 발견 기법을 확장/발전시켜 Web API 입출력 사이의 시맨틱 유사도를 기반으로 하고, 원하는 목표를 만족하는 출력을 산출할 수 있는 사이클 없는 방향성 그래프(DAG)를 생성한다. 또한, Web API 발견 및 조합을 효율적으로 생성하기 위해 본 논문에서는 Web API 발견 및 조합 시스템을 구현한다.

In this paper, we develop a mobile MAP open API using HTML5 local storage and the W3C geolocation API. The mobile MAP open API consists of the basic JavaScript MAP API, offline navigation API, and multimedia POI (mPOI) API. The basic JavaScript MAP API creates a map and controls, rotates, and overlays data on the map. The offline navigation API is developed using HTML5 local storage and web storage. The mobile web application downloads and stores mPOIs of works of art to local storage or web storage from a web server. The mPOI API is developed using HTML5 video and audio APIs. We develop a mobile art park guidance application using the developed mobile MAP open API.

A widget is a small application running by the users' favorite services, so they are provided with web contents without explicitly visiting the web site. Although widgets can be easily implemented with Open APIs, only a few web sites provide them because of refactoring the structures of web resource to supply Open APIs to the widget developers. This paper presents an Open API Proxy Server System for widget services. The system consists of two components: an Open API Source Code Generator and an Open API Proxy Server. The Open API Source Code Generator provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for users to generate the Open APIs of user's choice and sends the Open API source code generation request to the Open API Proxy Server. The Open API Proxy Server using the HTML Table Processing Library receives the HTML web page from web site and extracts useful information from the target HTML table. The proxy server converts the extracted data into the corresponding XML document which becomes available through the Open API. We verify the operation of the proposed system through experiments with the HTML tables in the example web sites.

In the latest internet environment based on Web 2.0, the open API in the form of mash-ups have emerged. In this study, we analyzed the contents of textbooks and curriculum related Web 2.0. We also designed the teaching and learning strategies using open API and mashup services. Firstly, we divided into four specific types of teaching-learning procedures and suggested the lesson plans. Moreover we developed the prototype on open API and mashup service-based contents and sites. Through this study, we presented special teaching strategies using new technology like an open API and mashup.

In these days, various kinds of web applications based on web 2.0 paradigm have been developed. In web 2.0 paradigm pursuing participation, sharing, and openness on the web-as-platform, web mapping or web GIS application are regarded as top most applications, so that web applications, handling geo-spatial contents, with user-interaction interface and search engine of high performance have been provided for both public users and expert users in the special domains. Public and industrial needs for web mapping mashup application by open API, linked with the practical web computing technologies, are gradually increasing. In this study, a user interface in mashup for geo-spatial feature generation was implemented by using mainly Google maps API. Spatial database resources in this implementation are those of Google mapping server. As the results, public users on web client can create their own geo-spatial data sets in web vector formats, without the help of any GIS tools or access to proprietary databases. It is concluded that web-based mashup application in client-side using open API can be used as an alternative for geo-browsing system or portable feature generation system.

The majority of next generation information systems will be working on portable mobile devices such as smartphones. REST Open API web services have quickly become popular among mobile application development. The use of REST web services are not only growing in popularity but totally changing the way of mobile applications development. This is because REST web services could be used in application development as a form of building blocks, which is completely independent, compatible, to any platforms. With this strength, REST web services encourage third party application to build add-on functionality. This research proposes the use of REST web service to replace the use of socket APIs into major internet communication APIs. To this end, this paper also provide performance evaluation of the REST web services compared to the conventional socket APIs, focusing on scalability by analytical and experimental evaluations. Finally, we summarize the possibility whether REST Open API web services have enough performance as future major internet communication primitive APIs.

Web on Web 2.0 paradigm is regarded as a kind of platform. Accordingly, users on web can use almost same applications like using certain applications on personal computer, to given purposes. For Web as platform, it needs web-based or web-recognizable file format to communicate or to exchange various information contents and data among applied applications. Text-based JSON is a practical format directly linked Javascript on Web, so that XML-typed data, being previously built, can be possible for tagging process containing JSON format. However, GeoJSON handling geo-spatial data sets is now fledgling stage in standards. Thus, it is not on the practical applicability level, and there are a few tools or open sources for this format. To adopt GeoJSON for the future Geo-web application, users implement GeoJSON parser or apply the server-based open source GIS for their purpose. In this study, a preliminary work for GeoJSON application in Geo-web service carried out using Google Maps API and openlayers library API.

This study is about a case of web application development using representative commercial BIM platform-linked APIs from Autodesk and Bentley Systems. The development method was aimed at application development using Autodesk's Forge API and Bentley System's iTwin API. The specific development content was limited to the Model Viewer, Issues, and File Transfer API, and the administrator's site. The first research result is that parts with different internal configurations of commercial platforms were independently modularized and developed, and the common front-end was unified. The second research result is that a web front-end technology, was used to visualize 3D models using the viewer API, and the possibility of additional application expansion was discovered.

Recently the market of smart phone applications grows very fast. And users want more various and rich experiments using enhanced smart phone functions. But the development of smart phone applications is not an easy job. Specially to control smart phone sensors can be realized by using each native programming languages in experts level. Moreover the process needs separate development based on each smart phone OS. Development of the Web-based smart phone application using Web Common APIs, known as 'WebApp', is one of solutions to overcome these problems. The method includes interface constructions with HTML, and Web Common API calls and accesses to smart phone device APIs with Java scripts. In this paper, the experience in development of the smart phone e-book application is introduced, which is implemented with comport and OS independent WebApp development method.
