OSLC components
Service providers, resources, and ETags provide details that you need to consume IBM® TRIRIGA® data through OSLC.
- OSLC terminology
Definitions are provided for IBM TRIRIGA OSLC terms. - Service providers and service provider discovery
A service provider is a container or collection of resources that is hosted by a tool or product. Service providers support the grouping of similar resources, such as defects or tasks, that can be configured for integration. - OSLC namespaces
OSLC defines common namespaces. The prefixDefinition property shows all the prefix-to-namespace mappings that the service provider uses to describe the resources that it manages. - OSLC operations and resources
The OSLC service provider supports the creation factory and query capability operations for the resources that are available in the service provider document. A creation factory provides the oslc:creation creation URI that you use to create new resources by using HTTP POST. You use the oslc:queryBase query URI to select a resource collection that is managed by the service provider. When the resource is obtained, either by query or creation, the resource can be updated or deleted. - Resource shapes
A resource shape is a Resource Description Framework (RDF) file that provides a description of the resource data types that can be used in an interaction. The shape contains a list of attributes of the resource. - ETags
An ETag (entity tag) is an HTTP header that is used to validate that the client (such as a mobile device) has the most recent version of a record. When a GET request is made, the ETag is returned as a response header. The ETag also allows the client to make conditional requests. - IBM TRIRIGA URIs for OSLC
The URIs you use to connect to IBM TRIRIGA by using OSLC are unique.
