1. Introduction

1.1 Overview

This section is non-normative.

This specification defines a vocabulary for OSLC Quality Management resources. The intent is to define resources needed to support common integration scenarios and not to provide a comprehensive definition of quality management artefacts. The resource formats may not match exactly the native models supported by quality management service providers, but are intended to be compatible with them. The approach to supporting these scenarios is to delegate operations, as driven by service provider contributed user interfaces, as much as possible and not require a service provider to expose its complete data model and application logic.

1.2 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].

1.4 Typographical Conventions and Use of RFC Terms

As well as sections marked as non-normative, all authoring guidelines, diagrams, examples, and notes in this specification are non-normative. Everything else in this specification is normative.

The key words MUST, MUST NOT, REQUIRED, SHOULD, SHOULD NOT, RECOMMENDED, MAY, and OPTIONAL in this specification are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

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

This specification also uses these namespace prefix definitions:

oslc_cm : http://open-services.net/ns/cm# [OSLCCM]
oslc_rm : http://open-services.net/ns/rm# [OSLCRM]

2. Quality Management Vocabulary Terms

This specification defines the **root** superclass, and a number of specific, commonly occurring subclasses, properties and values. Servers may define additional **root** subclasses and provide additional properties as needed.

2.1 Vocabulary Details

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

All vocabulary URIs defined in the OSLC Quality Management (QM) namespace.
