Capture the architecture of mainframe applications using REST API methods

We have an Architecture Repository to support architecture work related to the business applications. In order to get this Architecture Repository fully functioning that system must be fed with with the data that comes from the systems. Therefore IBM Application Discovery tool can be a good source to get a landscape specifically for the mainframe applications and that information can be then fed into Architecture Repository.

Idea is to have REST API for ADDI metadata repository that returns responses in the JSON format (having unique immutable identifiers) and that would be capable of multiple features mainly concerning mainframe application landscape:

ADDI Project information
Programs within a project
IMS Transactions within a project
MFS Screens within a project
IMS databases & DB2 tables within a project
Files within a project
Batch Jobs within a project
Graph of a specific program or dataset
Cross application information (calls between different projects and programs residing in different projects)
