2. RDF Vocabulary

2.1 Vocabulary Details

The namespace URI for this vocabulary is: http://open-services.net/ns/config#

The OSLC Configuration Management vocabulary defines terms for versioned resources and configurations of those versioned resources.

2.1.1 Classes in this namespace (15)

Activity, Baseline, ChangeSet, ChangeSetSelections, Component, Configuration, ConfigurationSettings, Contribution, PersonalConfiguration, RemovalAll, Removals, Selections, Stream, UnboundSelections, VersionResource

Activity

http://open-services.net/ns/config#Activity

Activity is an RDFS class.

An activity is a read-only resource representing a long-running operation, such as recursive baseline or stream creation.

Baseline

http://open-services.net/ns/config#Baseline

Baseline is an RDFS class.

An immutable configuration with immutable selections of immutable resources, with immutable contributions that are themselves baselines.

ChangeSet

http://open-services.net/ns/config#ChangeSet

ChangeSet is an RDFS class.

A change set configuration represents a set of changes (including additions and removals) to some other configuration.

ChangeSetSelections

http://open-services.net/ns/config#ChangeSetSelections

ChangeSetSelections is an RDFS class.

A resource listing the version resources selected by a change set configuration.

Component

http://open-services.net/ns/config#Component

Component is an RDFS class.

A unit of organization consisting of a set of versioned resources. Components are the units of configurability, and form reusable assets or building blocks.

Configuration

http://open-services.net/ns/config#Configuration

Configuration is an RDFS class.

A configuration identifies a set of versions of resources in a component. Configurations commonly identify exactly one version of each resource in a component. Configurations can also assemble other configurations into a shared context across multiple components.

ConfigurationSettings

http://open-services.net/ns/config#ConfigurationSettings

ConfigurationSettings is an RDFS class.

Information about settings and preferences for a Configuration Management service.

Contribution

http://open-services.net/ns/config#Contribution

Contribution is an RDFS class.

A contribution represents the contribution of one configuration to another.

PersonalConfiguration

http://open-services.net/ns/config#PersonalConfiguration

PersonalConfiguration is an RDFS class.

A configuration intended for use by a single agent, rather than shared.

RemovalAll

http://open-services.net/ns/config#RemoveAll

RemovalAll is an RDFS class.

For a change set, an indicator that all selections in the overriden configuration are to be ignored; all selections are defined by the change set.

Removals

http://open-services.net/ns/config#Removals

Removals is an RDFS class.

For a change set, the selections to be removed from an overridden configuration.

Selections

http://open-services.net/ns/config#Selections

Selections is an RDFS class.

A resource listing the version resources selected by a configuration.

Stream

http://open-services.net/ns/config#Stream

Stream is an RDFS class.

A mutable configuration. Contributions to this configuration can be streams or baselines.

UnboundSelections

http://open-services.net/ns/config#UnboundSelections

UnboundSelections is an RDFS class.

An indicator that a set of selections are as-yet unbound concept resources as opposed to bound version resources.

VersionResource

http://open-services.net/ns/config#VersionResource

VersionResource is an RDFS class.

This type is used as a marker for any version resource.
