We’ve been working on an updated api spec.  It is quite similar to our initial api but contains a few refinements to help us scale up.

For example, we’ll make namespaces explicit rather than implicit, so a PubMed identifier will always be referred to with a PMID prefix.  

We’ve also introduced the idea of total-impact identifiers — we affectionately call them tiids.

Javascript snippets will make embedding total-impact data into webpages as easy as pie.

Have a look at the new api spec and see what you think?  You can add thoughts, questions, and suggestions right on the google doc as comments.
