  abstract = {{M}otivation: {M}odern genomic breeding methods rely heavily on very large amounts of phenotyping and genotyping data, presenting new challenges in effective data management and integration. {R}ecently, the size and complexity of datasets have increased significantly, with the result that data are often stored on multiple systems. {A}s analyses of interest increasingly require aggregation of datasets from diverse sources, data exchange between disparate systems becomes a challenge. {R}esults: {T}o facilitate interoperability among breeding applications, we present the public plant {B}reeding {A}pplication {P}rogramming {I}nterface ({B}r{API}). {B}r{API} is a standardized web service {API} specification. {T}he development of {B}r{API} is a collaborative, community-based initiative involving a growing global community of over a hundred participants representing several dozen institutions and companies. {D}evelopment of such a standard is recognized as critical to a number of important large breeding system initiatives as a foundational technology. {T}he focus of the first version of the {API} is on providing services for connecting systems and retrieving basic breeding data including germplasm, study, observation, and marker data. {A} number of {B}r{API}-enabled applications, termed {B}r{APP}s, have been written, that take advantage of the emerging support of {B}r{API} by many databases.},
