Yahoo! has released a base platform that opens up Yahoo! user data via web standard APIs and also provides a framework for how developers, publishers, and advertisers can build applications on and off Yahoo!.

One of Yahoo!'s key goals is to become more open through the Yahoo! Open Strategy (Y!OS). At the heart of Y!OS is an open and extensible platform that allows developers to rapidly access Yahoo! network data and develop applications with access control using an open authentication standard. Yahoo! makes structured data available to developers through its web services, such as Flickr and Yahoo! Local, and through other sources like RSS feeds or CSV documents. There are also numerous external web services and APIs outside of Yahoo! that provide valuable data. For example, Programmableweb.com shows more than a thousand APIs available on topics ranging from project management to the Bible. These disparate services require developers to locate the correct URLs for accessing the APIs and the documentation for querying them. Data remains isolated and separated, requiring developers to combine and work on the data after it's returned to them. Read the entire article.
