Tucows uses name of dot.com bubble era company to launch new service. Remember RealNames? Tucows has brought back the name of the the dot.com bubble darling, but for a very different purpose. RealNames was a system designed to replace or circumvent domain names. Instead of typing a domain name like Money.com in your browser, you […]

The software giant announces it is taking a 20 percent stake in RealNames and will push for new standards to simplify Web navigation.

This document defines a URI scheme, 'go:' to be used with the Common Name Resolution Protocol. Specifically it lays out the syntactic components and how those components are used by URI Resolution to find the available transports for a CNRP service. Care should be taken with several of the URI components because, while they may look like components found in other URI schemes, they often do not act like them. The 'go' scheme has more in common with the location independent 'news' scheme than any other URI scheme.

People often refer to things in the real world by a common name or phrase, e.g., a trade name, company name, or a book title. These names are sometimes easier for people to remember and type than URLs. Furthermore, because of the limited syntax of URLs, companies and individuals are finding that the ones that might be most reasonable for their resources are being used elsewhere and so are unavailable. For the purposes of this document, a 'common name' is a word or a phrase, without imposed syntactic structure, that may be associated with a resource.

Since the beginning of the Internet, determining the trustworthiness of participants and published information has been a significant point of contention. Many systems have been proposed to solve these underlying concerns, usually pertaining to specific niches and communities, but these pre-existing solutions are nebulous at best. How can we build infrastructure for truly democratic Webs of Trust?

You can see the benefits of good API design practices all across the API ecosystem, but also across all of the web and mobile applications we use each day. If you suffer from the same condition I do, then you see these frustrating signals across the landscape. However, one of the most critical ways in which poor API design affects how we deliver technology is the API design for our API gateway APIs. Like every other API, the design of APIs for API gateways provide a very honest take of what capabilities a gateway offers. Let me show you with two separate examples:

I’ve looked at all the gateways out there today. I’ve been studying API management since 2010. While there are numerous characteristics that define the next generation of API gateways, in my mind the number one thing that will determine the future of API gateways will be their support for API contracts. This means how they adopt OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, JSON Schema, GraphQL, and Protocol Buffers. You see some of what I am talking about int he way that GraphQL and gRPC APIs operate, but it is starker when you look at how gateways support OpenAPI today. More specifically whether they provide only one of the following areas, or support the spectrum.
