Extending Rational DOORS by using OSLC services
Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) is a community that is standardizing the way that lifecycle tools work together. IBM® Rational® DOORS® supports the OSLC data sharing specification as a provider for the Requirements Management domain and as a consumer of other domains in the Rational portfolio.
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
Rational DOORS supports OSLC data sharing with the domains and specifications that are listed in the following table.
OSLC domain | Rational DOORS consumes | Rational DOORS provides |
---|---|---|
Change Management (CM) | V1, V2 | None |
Quality Management (QM) | V2 | None |
Requirements Management (RM) | V1, V2 | V1, V2 |
Architecture Management (AM) | V2 | None |
