Integrating with Rational Focal Point by using REST RDF APIs

Rational® Focal Point™ supports REST APIs in Resource Description Framework (RDF) representations. REST RDF API reuses the resource URIs that are defined in the existing REST XML APIs. In addition to these REST XML APIs, a few more resource URIs are supported in REST RDF API. Using these REST RDF APIs, you can use or modify the Rational Focal Point resources from external applications.

Prerequisite: To work with these APIs and integrate Rational Focal Point with your application, you must have knowledge of RESTful APIs and RDF

In RDF APIs, HTTP GET method is supported for all of the resources, for example, modules, workspace, views, elements and attributes.

The PUT, POST and DELETE methods are supported only for the element resources. For example, the elements in the business needs module.

For more information about the resources and methods, see Rational Focal Point RDF RESTful API reference.
