What is the BioAPI Consortium and what are its goals?
The BioAPI Consortium is a group of over 120 organizations that have a common interest in promoting the growth of the biometrics market. BioAPI is dedicated to developing a specification for a standardized Application Programming Interface (API) that will be compatible with a wide range of biometric application programs and a broad spectrum of biometric technologies. The API description defines how application programmers and biometric solution vendors write to the common BioAPI interface. The BioAPI runtime framework will allow applications to interoperate with various biometric solutions.
