Change and configuration management reportable REST API

The Rational Team Concert reportable REST API is different from many traditional domain APIs. Rather than providing resource URLs that point to specific items (ex, a single work item or a single build result), it provides access to five monolithic resources:

• foundation: Common artifacts such as project areas, team areas, contributors, iterations and links
• scm: Source Control artifacts such as streams and components, as well as stream sizing deltas
• build: Build artifacts such as build results, build result contributions, build definitions, and build engines
• apt: Agile Planning artifacts such as team capacity and resource schedules and absences
• workitem: Work Item artifacts such as work items, categories, severities, and priorities

These resources are not individual work items, or individual build results, etc. The top-level resource is a container resource which represents the result of a query for one or more elements, providing flexibility in filtering and querying. For example, a workitem resource may contain one or more elements which are actually work items, depending on the query/filter passed to the REST API.
