To achieve this, we offer an <a href=\"https:\/\/api.aliss.org\/swagger\/ui\/index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">open API (Application Programming Interface)<\/a>. Meaning, as well as accessing information through our website, the data can be used in other websites and systems, e.g. to create your own online directory of assets. This allows us to work with many different systems and partners, such as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhsinform.scot\/scotlands-service-directory\/health-and-wellbeing-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NHS Inform Scotland\u2019s Service Directory<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have also developed our own <a href=\"https:\/\/map.aliss.org\/dist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">customisable maps<\/a>. This tool allows organisations to create tailored, interactive maps that showcase specific resources or services based on criteria in an area they choose. These maps can then be embedded on websites to make them easily accessible to anyone who may benefit. For example, we partnered with Glasgow Community Food Network to develop a <a href=\"https:\/\/glasgowfood.net\/community-food-hub\/find-local-food-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">local food services map<\/a>, and with Aberdeen City HSPC to create a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aberdeencityhscp.scot\/our-delivery\/communities-new\/GreenHealthMap\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">green health map<\/a> &#8211; each designed to connect people with support and resources in their community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another method of presenting ALISS information is using our <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/aliss\/aliss.js\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">JavaScript plugin<\/a>.&nbsp; This can be easily embedded on third party websites, without the need for much specialist technical knowledge.&nbsp;Additionally, the code for the ALISS system is available on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/aliss\/ALISS\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GitHub<\/a>, which enables developers to build on the technical work of the programme to date.&nbsp; The code can be reused, subject to a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/3.0\/deed.en_US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Creative Commons licence<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like to find out more about using ALISS data then please get in touch at <a href=\"mailto:hello@aliss.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hello@aliss.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>End of page.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ALISS team believes the data in ALISS should be openly available and shared.
