Could Samvera be expressed as a set of one or more API specifications? If so, what would those specifications encompass? Existing products like Hyrax, Hyku, and possibly Avalon, would be reference implementations of these specifications. The end goal would be to enable someone to build a "Samvera application" that is compatible at an API-level with Hyrax/Hyku, etc. yet choose whichever technology stack they desire. What we would accomplish in this session is to decide the answers to the above questions. If the answer is no, that's fine, we can document it and move on. If the answer is yes, and we want to pursue such an end goal, we can strategize how we might achieve this.
