The Rational Lifecycle Integration Adapters Standard Edition extends the IBM Rational solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) with integrations to select third-party tools. These adapters also provide integrations for Rational ClearQuest®. The Rational Lifecycle Integration Adapters Standard Edition enables you to continue using your existing lifecycle tools and benefit from the many capabilities found in the Rational solution for CLM products.
The Rational Lifecycle Integration Adapters Standard Edition are based on the open architecture of Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC), which is an HTTP-based protocol that uses unique URLs to identify data so that you can link to resources in other products. Linked data makes it possible to access data directly from another product. For more information about the OSLC specifications, see the Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration Community.
Furthering the adoption of OSLC, Eclipse Lyo is a project tasked with creating an SDK to enable the creation of OSLC-based tool integrations. For more information about this Eclipse Lyo project, see Eclipse Lyo project.
The Rational Lifecycle Integration Adapters Standard Edition are designed to address the day to day challenges faced by software delivery organizations practicing ALM in a heterogeneous lifecycle tools environment.
