Open interfaces allow for the linking of offers
In order to handle software regardless of device boundaries, it is essential to have open interfaces:
- Web 2.0 is open.
- Most applications are based on Open Source software.
- By using open interfaces (APIs) offers and data can be combined with each other.
- RSS Feeds and Widgets allow for the integration of contents on special sites.
- Standards are given and are constantly being further developed by the World Wide Web Consortium.
Open interfaces combine different offers. |
