An Analysis of the OASIS OSLC Integration Standard - A Survey

<p>OASIS OSLC is a standard that targets the integration of engineering software applications. Its approach promotes loose coupling, in which each application autonomously manages its own product data, while providing RESTful web services through which other applications can interact.</p> <p>To achieve this, a review of the current state of the OASIS OSLC integration standard is provided in terms of its market penetration in commercial applications, its capabilities, and the architectural qualities of OSLC-based solutions. This review is based on a survey of commercial software applications that provide some support for OSLC capabilities.</p>
