Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC)

open community – open interfaces – open possibilities

Are you ready for the next

Generation of Integration? An initiative aimed at simplifying data linking and

tool integration across the lifecycle

Linked Lifecycle Data… Data Integration of the next Generation

Inspired by Internet principles, implemented with

Internet technologies: Simple interfaces for exchange of

resources

Loosely coupled: Everything is a “resource” linked together

with URLs

Technology neutral: Treats all implementations equally

Minimalist: defines no more than necessary for exchange of

resources

Incremental: Deliver value now, add more value over time

Openly published standards: Free to implement and

irrevocable

OSLC Specifications Overview 2012 How it’s built… Different Specifications based on a core specification

The OSLC Core specifies the primary integration techniques for

integrating lifecycle tools, such as communication protocols and basic

data representation

The OSLC domain workgroups specify additional vocabulary

specific to their lifecycle domain, but do not add new protocols
