[OSLC] Generating language bindings for the OSLC interfaces

[Andrew J Berner]

To use the OSLC interfaces effectively, client programmers need an easy way
to get 3GL language bindings to program against the interface.  In
practice, most ALM tools, which are the prime candidates to use the
interfaces, would benefit from either a Java or C# binding.  I can imagine
two ways of getting these bindings:

a) For each interface, someone in the community, or a group of members,
produce the binding by hand and maintain it as the interface evolves

b) Clients use a set of commonly available tools to generate bindings

Can someone from each workgroup comment, please, on how this can be
addressed for the interface under development?  Which language bindings are
of interest (testing my hypothesis that Java and C# will suffice for most
of the community)?
