New implementation of Open Referral in legal aid field: Open Advocate's DLAW
Greg,

Thanks for the links.  It looks like you’ve been busy.

You mentioned OpenAPI and I noticed that the OpenReferral design principles recommend conformance with the NIEM.  On the NIEM Technical Architecture Committee (NTAC), we’ve been developing new guidance for using NIEM with JSON and, to a  lesser extent, OpenAPI.  We’ve run into a number of gaps in the JSON and OpenAPI specifications relative to XML and SOAP-based Web Services and we’re debating how best to address those in our guidance.  I would appreciate hearing any lessons learned you might  have to share.

  Thanks,

Hi folks - Looking forward to see the progress in this group.
I just want to point to a couple of relevant announcements from the field of service directory data:
Open Advocate (who produce DLAW, in use by over a dozen statewide legal aid websites) have adopted Open Referral to structure their directory data management system:  https://openreferral.org/implementing-openreferral-drupal-wordpress/
We have also upgraded our documentation, to include OpenAPI protocols that might help facilitate alignment between our vocabulary and other service directory data vocabs:  http://docs.openreferral.org/
Eager to see how these vocabularies can align further. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions!
