Please define: What do you mean by open API? Open access? Open source project with an API?

  My knowledge is a little ropey so I apologise in advance if this doesn't make sense. I believe it is the former - open access. For example, if a bank wanted to allow banking to be done via Facebook then they'd need to open up APIs. Or if a hospital wanted to introduce a chat forum for doctors to be able to pose questions to one another then are there examples of companies whose API's would allow them to plug that chat forum in seamlessly without having to build their own chat forum. I wondered if there were any good examples of companies that demonstrated this. Sorry if the above doesn't make sense!
