Creation of OSLC provider records
You must create a provider record in the OSLC Providers
application for each product that you register in the Registry Services
Resource Registry. You can use the provider record to create interactions
that enable users to share and update data between products.
Registry Services
Registry Services is a Jazz™ for Service Management integration service that provides the mechanisms through which Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) services, resources, and consumers can use the OSLC interface to work in an integrated service management environment.
Service providers
A service provider is a container or collection of related data, such as a project, a user database, or a module. Service providers support the grouping of similar resources, such as defects or tasks, that can be configured for integration.
Resource types and shape documents
A resource type identifies the type of data, such as a change request, that is linked between integrated applications. A resource type can have an associated shape document. A shape document is similar to an XML schema in the way that it defines the data structure of the resource.
