Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC)
This is one of the efforts mentioned in: Linked Data: Esperanto for APIs?.
From the about page:
Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) is a community of software developers and organizations that is working to standardize the way that software lifecycle tools can share data (for example, requirements, defects, test cases, plans, or code) with one another.
We want to make integrating lifecycle tools a practical reality. (emphasis in original)
That’s a far cry from:
At the very least, however, a generally accepted approach to linking data within applications that make the whole programmable Web concept more accessible to developers of almost every skill level should not be all that far off from here.
It has an ambitious but well-defined scope, which will lend itself to the development and testing of standards for the interchange of information.
Despite semantic diversity, those are tasks that can be identified and that would benefit from standardization.
There is measurable ROI for participants who use the standard in a software lifecycle. They are giving up semantic diversity in exchange for other tangible benefits.
An effort to watch as a possible basis for integrating older software lifecycle tools.
