SCM Terminology

This table attempts to correlate the terminology of various SCM systems involved in OSLC, and to map these terms to the OSLC SCM term. Note that the correspondence is unlikely to be exact - there is quite a bit a flexibility in the translation of some terms between these different systems. The table includes WVCM not because WVCM is involved in OSLC, but as an aid to translation because its terminology is reasonably well defined at http://www.webdav.org/deltav/wvcm/wvcm-overview.html, and might be familiar to experts in the other SCM systems.

The table has been updated to remove concepts not considered useful for OSLC, and to show each ClearCase, Team Concert, and Synergy term against only the most specific equivalent WVCM terms. For example, a directory is equivalent to a WVCM controllable resource in both ClearCase and Synergy (as is a folder in Team Concert), but since it is also equivalent to the subclass controllable folder, it is shown in that row instead. Terms may still be shown in multiple rows if they map to sibling or unrelated WVCM classes.
