This document includes approved errata, as described in OSLC Change Management Version 3.0. Part 1: Specification, Appendix C. Errata.

OSLC Change Management Version 3.0. Part 2: Vocabulary defines the OSLC Change Management RDF vocabulary terms and resources. This document specifies the standard constraints on those vocabulary terms using OSLC ResourceShapes.

Introduction

RDF vocabularies define the terms and resources for a domain of interest, life-cycle management in the case of OSLC Change Management. These vocabularies are often specified in an open manner, without providing information such as property domain and range assertions, cardinalities, etc. This helps keep the vocabulary applicable for a wide range of uses and furthering integration with other vocabularies.

However, it is often desirable to closed down a vocabulary with specific constraints to facilitate using the vocabulary for a specific purpose. This document specifies the constraints for using the OSLC Change Management vocabulary in OSLC. Different sets of constraints may be applied to a vocabulary in order to tailor its use, without overly constraining the vocabulary for other usages.

These constraints apply to the core vocabulary defined in OSLC Change Management Version 3.0. Part 2: Vocabulary.

Terminology

Terminology is based on OSLC Core Overview [[!OSLCCore3]], W3C Linked Data Platform [[!LDP]], W3C's Architecture of the World Wide Web [[WEBARCH]], Hyper-text Transfer Protocol [[!HTTP11]].

References

In addition to the namespace URIs and namespace prefixes oslc, rdf, dcterms and foaf defined in the OSLC Core specification, OSLC CM defines the namespace URI of http://open-services.net/ns/cm# with a namespace prefix of oslc_cm

This specification also uses these namespace prefix definitions:

oslc_rm : http://open-services.net/ns/rm# [[OSLCRM]]
oslc_qm : http://open-services.net/ns/qm# [[OSLCQM]]

Change Management Resource Constraints

Property value types that are not defined in the following sections, are defined in OSLC Core - Defining OSLC Properties

Naming convention for relationship properties follows this pattern:

related - Identifies a loose relationship between a Change Request and referenced resource. These relationships can be used to name associated resources managed by other service providers.
tracks - Identifies that a Change Request is used to track the lifecycle of referenced resource. From the CM tool perspective, these relationships can be used to track work that needs to be done for referenced resources.
affects - Indicates that the Change Request affects, or has been predetermined to have impact on, the related resource. These property relationships can be used to understand the potential impact of referenced resources.

Resource: ChangeRequest

The Change Request resource properties are not limited to the ones defined in this specification, service providers may provide additional properties. It is recommended that any additional properties exist in their own unique namespace and not use the namespaces defined in these specifications.

Resource: ChangeNotice

Resource: Defect
