Integrating as an OSLC consumer

Your application, an OSLC consumer, can be configured to support two interaction types: query and creation. The resource links are obtained by the consumer application from the provider application.

The following figure illustrates the interactions between the consumer and provider applications. As an OSLC consumer, the application can query or create resources in the provider application and retain the links to those resources. With the links, the consumer application can make requests to the provider application to query, update, or delete the resources.
