You can see clear differentiations between tropical, sub-tropical, and temperate climates in Taiwan. Besides, there are about 18,400 species of wildlife on the island, with more than 20% being to rare or endangered species!.
While history of Taiwan consists of European settlement, Kingdom of Tungning, Qing rule, Japanese rule, till now, mix of cultures makes Taiwan a very unique place in the world. There are thousands kinds of traditional food you have never seen or even heard of. Moreover, abounding traditional events make life in Taiwan much more interesting!
We hope these treasure in Taiwan more accessible with unified protocol. Open data is a right way to achieve it.
Open data is an idea that certain data should be freely available to everyone to use and republish as they wish, without restrictions from copyright, patents or other mechanisms of control ~ from Wikipedia.
For this purpose, a protocol that can cross programming languages and device platforms just matters. RESTful API is the perfect one.
Our project just started from Feb. 2012. The vision is to make Taiwan tourism data more transparent and accessible with open data API. This should help global developers to create various services. We wish you feel exciting as we do!
You can request a inviation of the API at accesstaiwan.org.
Please leave comments to help us making it better.
