Links across OSLC domains

Edit online

IBM® Engineering Workflow Management (EWM) supports integration with other application domains by using standard link types as implementations of the OSLC specifications.

OSLC link relationships

The following table lists the OSLC relationships that are used when you link artifacts across various domains. The table also links to definitions of the OSLC relationships.

Table 1. Linking across domains from and to EWM
Domain	Link relationships in EWM	Link relationships in external applications
Architecture Management (AM)	EWM artifacts can be linked to RMM artifacts by using the following link type: Elaborated by architecture element	An RMM artifact can be linked to a EWM artifact by using the following link type: Elaborates work item
Change Management (CM)	EWM artifacts can be linked to external CM artifacts by using one of the following link types: Affected by defect Related change request Tracks change set	An external CM artifact can be linked to a EWM artifact by using one of the following link types: Affects plan item
Quality Management (QM)	EWM artifacts can be linked to QM artifacts by using the following link types: Affects test result Blocks test execution record Related test case Related test execution record Related test script Related test plan Tested by test case	A QM artifact can be linked to a EWM artifact by using one of the following link types: Affected by Blocked by Related to Tests
Requirements Management (RM)	EWM artifacts can be linked to RM artifacts by using one of the following link types: Affects requirement Implements requirement Tracks requirement	An RMM artifact can be linked to a EWM artifact by using the following link types: Affected by Implemented by Tracked by

Table 2. OSLC Properties
Display name	Reverse Display name	Link from	Link to	OSLC Property	Description
Affects	Affected by	File	File	http://jazz.net/ns/ccm#Affects	Captures the relationship of a file that affects the implementation of the other file. (For example, an interface file affects its caller files.)
Elaborated by	Elaborates	Work item	Architectural resource	http://open-services.net/ns/rm#elaboratedBy	Captures the relationship of the architectural resource that elaborates the work item.
Implements	Implemented by	File	File	http://jazz.net/ns/ccm#Implements	Captures the relationship of a file that describes the implementation of the other file. (For example, a source .java file implements a model .uml file.)
Implements Requirement	Implemented by	File	Requirement	http://jazz.net/ns/ccm#Implements	Captures the relationship between a file and a Requirements Management artifact that describes the implementation of the requirement artifact. (For example, source code in IBM Engineering Workflow Management implements a user requirement.)
Implements Test Script	Implemented By	File	Test Script	http://jazz.net/ns/ccm#Implements	Captures the relationship between a file and a Quality Management test script that describes the implementation of the test. (For example, a test script file in IBM Engineering Workflow Managementimplements a Quality Management test script.)
References	Referenced By	File	File	http://jazz.net/ns/ccm#References	Captures the relationship of a file that references the other file.
References Test Case	Referenced By	File	Test case	http://jazz.net/ns/ccm#References	Captures the relationship of a file that references a Quality Management test case. (For example, a file with extra test case information references a Quality Management test case.)
References Test Case Result	Referenced By	File	Test Execution Result	http://jazz.net/ns/ccm#References	Captures the relationship of a file that references a Quality Management test case execution result. (For example, a JUnit test log file references a Quality Management test case execution result.)
References Test Suite Result	Referenced By	File	Test Suite Execution Result	http://jazz.net/ns/ccm#References	Captures the relationship of a file that references a Quality Management test suite execution result. (For example, a JUnit test log file references a Quality Management test suite execution result.)
Tracks	Tracked By	File	File	http://jazz.net/ns/ccm#Tracks	Captures the relationship of a file that tracks the implementation of the other file. (For example, a release note file tracks source code changes.)

Note: In project areas that are enabled for configuration management, links are directional and are owned by an application. For more information about link ownership, see Cross-application linking to versioned artifacts after enabling configuration management in RM and QM project areas.
