About APDS
APDS: Context, Motivation
A few years back, the International Parking & Mobility Institute (IPMI), the British Parking Association (BPA), and the European Parking Association (EPA) formed a not-for-profit organization with the mission to develop, promote, manage, and maintain a uniform global standard that will allow organizations to share parking data across platforms worldwide: APDS, the Alliance for Parking Data Standards.
About this Repository
APDS Specification
APDS has developed the global parking data standard in form of a comprehensive (UML) model. This model is the source for the APDS Specifications (overview, information model, data model, use cases). You can request the specification documents on the APDS website free of charge.
APDS API
The APDS working group has also created a comprehensive representation of the APDS data model in form of an API. This interface is documented using the OpenAPI Specification Standard originally initiated by Swagger and then taken over by the Open APIs initiative. Depending on the particular application, there might be other ways to describe the model and a derived interface. But APDS figured it would be a good starting point for adopters to have something readily available to base their work on. This repository contains said APS OpenAPI Specification.
A browsable version of the APDS API specification can be found here.
