Extending EWM by using OSLC services
Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) is a community that is standardizing the
way that lifecycle tools work together. IBM Engineering Workflow Management (EWM)
supports the OSLC data sharing specification as a provider for the Change Management domain and as a
consumer of other domains.
The sharing of OSLC data between domains is based on a common set of resources, formats, and REST architectural services.
The
data sharing supports these transactions:
- Linking that is based on HTTP protocol
- Identification of resources by URIs
- Information retrieval that uses industry standard media types
EWM supports OSLC data sharing with the domains and specifications that are listed in the following table.
| OSLC domain | EWM consumes | EWM provides |
|---|---|---|
| Change Management (CM) | V1, V2 | V1, V2 |
| Quality Management (QM) | V1, V2 | None |
| Requirements Management (RM) | V1, V2 | None |
