DDBC Authority Database Services

Overview

DDBC Authority Database Web Services are accessible via a set of JavaScript libraries, which can be embedded in any web application. The services define a collection of web APIs that make it easy to access data from the DDBC Authority Database and to integrate this data into diverse external web applications.

Two services are provided at present:

  1. the Pop-up Annotation Service
  2. the Get-ID Service (forthcoming)

Alternatively, data can be accessed directly through our Web Data-Provider Service
