Ask HN: How do researchers chose between 'calculus' and 'algebra'?
As an example case, why is relational algebra not called a calculus, and why is the π-calculus not called an algebra?

Contemporary principles are analysis and abstract objects, respectively.

Greece has several such open API endpoints for validating information, including VAT/company number, the equivalent of social security number, whether your personal tax returns have been processed, whether you were admitted to a state university, and so on.
For most of these services, all you need to access results is a subset of the relevant information. There is no requirement to register or authenticate, but they do seem to have crude forms of rate limiting in place.
