Definition: The API Enablers Grouping ABB refers to a coherent set of application-level building blocks that support the design, exposure, discovery, registration, and cataloguing of (open) software interfaces (APIs). These enablers provide the necessary capabilities to publish, document, discover, and manage APIs and services, enabling their effective reuse and consumption across digital public services.

Interoperability Saliency: The API Enablers Grouping ABB is salient for technical interoperability as it provides the application-level enablers required to expose, discover, and reuse software interfaces used to provide and consume data and services across public administrations. By standardising how APIs and services are catalogued and discovered, these enablers facilitate interoperable interactions between digital public services.
Additional information: This grouping does not represent a specific API or service interface, but the application enablers that make APIs and web services discoverable, reusable, and manageable within and across organisations.
