Summary

The OSIDs (available from osid.org) are the service interface definitions. This wiki has information about the OSIDs and the Okapia open-source implementation.

Try An Example

Clone a sample application and OSID Provider:

% git clone https://bitbucket.org/okapia/9-planets-sample.git
% cd 9-planets-sample
% make run

If you count nine planets, your OSID environment is working. Anything less would be a serious problem.
