Hi Connie
Welcome to the world of Open APIs, hope your involvement will be productive for you, your colleagues, and your customers.
I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the recently re-published API design guidelines
TMF630, these are very useful documents explaining how to design APIs, design patterns, and more. The guidelines include prescription on how you can extend the Open API model.
Hope it helps.
