OpenAPI Special Interest Groups (SIGs)

OpenAPI Special Interest Groups, or "SIGs", are the OpenAPI Initiative's way of focusing work in particular areas. SIGs may start with just a Slack channel to guage interest. SIGs with enough traction to produce work may have their own GitHub repositories and regular Zoom calls, and ultimately produce work that becomes part of, or a companion to, the OpenAPI Specification.

Workflows

The OpenAPI Specification provides a way to document individual API calls and how to use them, but it doesn't give insight into the common ways to sequence those operations. While all APIs can benefit from formally describing these workflows, this is particularly important when considering more complex or more secure APIs.

The OpenAPI Workflows Special Interest Group was created to address this common problem. The goal is to construct a formal way to describe these sequences and support documentation of flows, such as a multi-part OAuth flow with JSON signing and refresh token behavior.
