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.
