LOST view: Technical view - infrastructure

EIRA concept: eira:ArchitectureBuildingBlock

ABB name: eira:APIGatewayTechnologyService

Example: The following implementation is an example on how this specific Architecture Building Block (ABB) can be instantiated as a Solution Building Block (SBB): API Gateway Authentication Bundle. It authenticates requests from European Commission service API Gateway. https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/collection/ecphp/solution/api-gw-authentica…

Interoperability Saliency: API Gateway ABB is salient for semantic interoperability due to its setting up the rules to share multiple public administration digital services to facilitate their accessibility, discovery and sharing across platforms (catalogue of APIs). These rules follow up existing standards and common practices in the API documentation and accessibility (Open APIs description).
