What Opportunities Are There for Vendor Overlays?

These are the properties we've identified as being the most common properties applied as part of API operations, providing the building blocks needed to onboard consumers--the goal is to not just identify them, but transform from being human-readable to machine-readable to help automate and scale the API economy.

Localization - Providing translation of names, summaries, descriptions, and tags for APIs.
Monitoring - Keeping an eye on the uptime and performance of APIs being indexed.
Ratings - Applying a variety of Spectral-driven rules which each carry different points.
SDKs - Defining what software development kits are available for integrating with APIs.
Search - Fine tuning the names, summaries, descriptions, and tags to improve discovery.
Security - Looking at the security of APIs, and providing a summary of what is found.
Testing - Executing contracts and other types of tests and overlaying the results.
