Introduction

Asset management systems allow enterprises to catalog, govern, manage, search for, and maintain assets. An asset is anything tangible or intangible that provides value through reference or reuse across a wide audience over an extended period of time. Assets typically have a lifecycle and require a formal process to govern both modification and access. Cataloging assets with standardized taxonomies controls usage and discovery by end users. Assets may also have relationships to and dependencies on other assets.

The term asset in this specification generally refers to either software, documentation, or representations of equipment. While other definitions of an asset may be appropriate, financial instruments are not considered an asset in this specification.

Example software assets may include but are not limited to the final binary output from a software development process, libraries such as a Java archive (JAR) or dynamic-link library (DLL), and installable packages that are distributed through digital distribution platforms such as a repository or app store. Documentation assets may include presentation materials, reports, specifications, blue prints, and instructions. Assets may also represent any type of equipment or structure such as computer hardware, automobiles, pumps, buildings, etc.

Assets are described by a set of properties and zero or more artifacts. An artifact is a file of any type and a set of properties that describe the file.

This specification builds on the Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) Core v2.0 Specification to define the resources, properties and operations supported by an OSLC Asset Management (OSLC-Asset) provider. Asset Management resources include Assets, Artifacts and supporting resources defined in the OSLC Core specification. The properties defined describe these resources and the relationships between resources. Operations are defined in terms of HTTP methods and MIME type handling. The resources, properties and operations defined do not form a comprehensive interface to Asset Management, but instead target specific integration use cases documented by the OSLC-Asset workgroup.

This specification also defines how Assets and Artifacts are represented in OSLC Services. The Asset Resource is a set of properties for an Asset, and includes properties that describe Artifacts of an Asset.

Asset Management Resources Overview

This version of the OSLC Asset specification is demonstrated in the version 2.0 samples.

Terminology

Asset Consumer - A tool or user that performs asset searching and retrieval activities outlined in the search and retrieve scenarios.

Asset Resource - An Asset Resource has a set of properties representing an asset. These properties include such things as name, description, classification, and the Artifact properties for an Asset.

Asset Query Resource - When filtering using simple query, the representation of a list of Asset Resources.

Asset Submitter - A tool or user that performs asset preparation activities outlined in the publish scenario.

Artifact - This term refers to the properties that describe an Asset Artifact and potentially the Artifact Media referenced by this Artifact. An Asset may have zero or more Artifacts.

Artifact Fragment - Fragment within an Asset Resource that describes an Artifact Media Resource. The term fragment is associated with an Artifact instead of resource because Artifacts are referenced by the Asset’s URL with a fragment identifier. Artifacts are considered to be contained within the asset and when the asset is deleted the artifact is also deleted. While two different Artifacts in separate Assets may reference to the same Artifact Media Resource, two different Assets may not contain the same Artifact.

Artifact Media Resource - The Artifact Media Resource represents the actual artifact content. The content can be a presentation, a test case, a binary software component, or any other kind of file.

Property - An attribute of a resource. Typically a property is a name/value pair that describes a certain aspect of the resource. For example, an asset has many properties such as the asset title, subject/short description, version.

Service Provider - An implementation of the OSLC Asset Management specification as a server. OSLC Asset Management clients consume these services.

Work product - This term is often used interchangeably with ‘artifact’ or ‘file’. An asset may have zero or more work products.

Base Requirements

Compliance

This specification is based on OSLC Core Specification. OSLC Asset Management 2.0 consumers and service providers MUST be compliant with both the core specification and this Asset Management specification, and SHOULD follow all the guidelines and recommendations in both these specifications.

The following table summarizes the requirements from OSLC Core Specification as well as some additional specific to Asset Management. Note that this specification further restricts some of the requirements for OSLC Core Specification. See further sections in this specification or the OSLC Core Specification to get further details on each of these requirements.

JSON Representations SHOULD OSLC services SHOULD provide JSON representations for HTTP GET, POST and PUT requests that conform to the Core Guidelines for JSON
HTML Representations SHOULD OSLC services SHOULD provide HTML representations for HTTP GET requests

Specification Versioning

See OSLC Core Specification Versioning section.

Service providers that support the resource formats and services in this specification MUST use HTTP response header of OSLC-Core-Version with a value of 2.0 and OSLC-Asset-Version with a value of 2.0. Consumers MAY request formats and services defined in this document by providing a HTTP request header of OSLC-Core-Version with a value of 2.0. See section below on Version Compatibility with OSLC Asset 1.0 Specifications.

Namespaces

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

Resource Formats

In addition to the requirements for OSLC Core Resource Formats section, this section outlines further refinements and restrictions.

For HTTP GET requests on all OSLC Asset Management and OSLC Core defined resource types,

  • Asset Management Providers MUST provide RDF/XML representations, SHOULD provide JSON representations, and MAY provide XML representations. The XML and JSON representations SHOULD follow the guidelines outlined in the OSLC Core Representations Guidance.
  • Asset Management Consumers requesting RDF/XML SHOULD be prepared for any valid RDF/XML document. Asset Management Consumers requesting XML or JSON SHOULD be prepared for representations that follow the guidelines outlined in the OSLC Core Representations Guidance.
  • Asset Management Providers SHOULD support an [X]HTML representation and a user interface (UI) preview as defined by UI Preview Guidance

For HTTP PUT/POST request formats for resource type of Asset:

  • Asset Management Providers MUST accept RDF/XML representations, SHOULD accept JSON representations, and MAY accept XML representations. Asset Management Providers accepting RDF/XML SHOULD be prepared for any valid RDF/XML document. For XML or JSON, Asset Management Providers SHOULD be prepared for representations that follow the guidelines outlined in the OSLC Core Representations Guidance.

For HTTP GET response formats for Query requests,

Asset Management Providers MUST provide RDF/XML representations, SHOULD provide JSON and Atom Syndication Format XML representations, and MAY provide XML representations.

When Asset Management Consumers request:

  • application/rdf+xml Asset Management Providers MUST respond with RDF/XML representation without restrictions.
  • application/json Asset Management Providers SHOULD respond with JSON representation as defined in the OSLC Core Representations Guidance.
  • application/xml Asset Management Provider MAY respond with OSLC-defined abbreviated XML representation as defined in the OSLC Core Representations Guidance
  • application/atom+xml Asset Management Provider SHOULD respond with Atom Syndication Format XML representation as defined in the OSLC Core Representations Guidance
  • The Atom Syndication Format XML representation SHOULD use RDF/XML representation without restrictions for the atom:content entries representing the resource representations.

See Query Capabilities for additional information when Resource Shapes affect representation.

Content Negotiation

OSLC Core Guidance clearly points to RDF representations (and specifically RDF/XML) as a convention that all OSLC Provider implementations minimally provide and accept. OSLC Asset Provider implementations are strongly encouraged to adopt this convention. Future versions of this specification are expected to require RDF representations for all operations and relax requirements for specialized XML representations.

XML Representation - identified by the application/xml content type. Format representation rules are outlined in Core OSLC Core Resource Formats section

RDF/XML Representation - identified by the application/rdf+xml content type. No additional guidance is given. The OSLC Core describes an algorithm for generating consistent formats that are used as examples only.

JSON Representation - identified by the application/json content type. Format representation rules are outlined in Core OSLC Core Resource Formats section.

Atom Syndication Format XML Representation - identified by the application/atom+xml content type. Format representation rules are outlined in Core OSLC Core Resource Formats section.

Authentication

See OSLC Core Authentication section. Asset Management puts no additional constraints on authentication.

Error Responses

See OSLC Core Error Responses section. Asset Management puts no additional constraints on error responses.

Pagination

OSLC Asset service providers SHOULD support pagination of query results and MAY support pagination of a single resource’s properties as defined by the OSLC Core Specification.

Requesting and Updating Properties

Requesting a Subset of Properties

A client MAY request a subset of a resource’s properties as well as properties from a referenced resource. In order to support this behavior a service provider MUST support the oslc.properties and oslc.prefix URL parameter on a HTTP GET request on individual resource request or a collection of resources by query. If the oslc.properties parameter is omitted on the request, then all resource properties MUST be provided in the response.

Updating a Subset of Properties

A client MAY request that a subset of a resource’s properties be updated by identifying those properties to be modified using the oslc.properties URL parameter on a HTTP PUT request.

If the parameter oslc.properties contains a valid resource property on the request that is not provided in the content, the server MUST set the resource’s property to a null or empty value. If the parameter oslc.properties contains an invalid resource property, then a 409 Conflict MUST be returned.

Labels for Relationships

Asset relationships to other resources are represented as properties whose values are the URI of the object or target resource. When an Asset relationship property is to be presented in a user interface, it may be helpful to provide an informative and useful textual label for that relationship instance. (This in addition to the relationship property URI and the object resource URI, which are also candidates for presentation to a user.) To this end, OSLC providers MAY support a dcterms:title link property in Asset resource representations, using the anchor approach outlined in the OSLC Core Links Guidance. In addition to the textual label, the Asset resource definition defines several properties that can be used to describe the relationship from one Asset resource to another Asset resource.

RDF/XML and XML example using reified statement:

<rdf:RDF 
     xmlns:dcterms="http://purl.org/dc/terms/" 
     xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
     xmlns:oslc_asset="http://open-services.net/ns/asset#">

    <oslc_asset:Asset rdf:about="http://example.com/assets/CDFE4153-9271-5CA6-425A-4CA6BE7BD7CA/1.0">
         <dcterms:relation rdf:ID="relationship1" rdf:resource="http://example.com/assets/52C4702C-7CA2-E46E-D373-620482ECBEED/1.0"/>
    </oslc_asset:Asset>

    <rdf:Description rdf:about="#relationship1">
        <dcterms:title>Build Configuration</dcterms:title>
   </rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>

Custom Properties

Asset management providers SHOULD allow consumers to define custom properties. If providers allow consumers to define custom properties, they MUST allow the consumer to optionally specify an HTTP URI for that data element, and the specified URI MUST be used in the RDF representation of all resources that contain the data element. The specified URI MAY be part of an industry standard such as DC, FOAF, or OSLC, or it MAY be defined by the user’s organization. If the URI is defined by the user’s organization, then they SHOULD make it dereferencable as per the W3C Best Practices for Publishing RDF Vocabularies.

If the user does not specify the optional URI, then the provider MUST use a default generated HTTP URI. The generated URI SHOULD be as human-readable as possible. One method for achieving human-readability is to apply a human-friendly name mangling algorithm to the user-defined label for the data element. The tool SHOULD make the generated URI dereferencable as per the W3C Best Practices for Publishing RDF Vocabularies. The published RDF vocabulary SHOULD include any relevant descriptive information provided the user as part of the data element definition, e.g. the label and description.

OSLC Asset Management Resource Definitions

Asset

An Asset is anything tangible or intangible that is capable of being owned or controlled to produce value, and is held to have positive economic value. This includes not only software products, but also buildings, servers, automobiles, pumps, oil wells, etc. These properties include such things as name, description, classification, and the Artifact properties of an Asset.

The Asset resource properties are not limited to the ones defined in this specification, service providers may provide additional properties. It is recommended that any additional properties exist in their own unique namespace and not use the namespaces defined in these specifications.

Artifact

An Artifact is a fragment within an asset resource that describes an Artifact Media Resource. An artifact fragment may only be updated though an Asset resource and it is not possible to perform operations directly on the Artifact fragment

The Artifact fragment properties are not limited to the ones defined in this specification, service providers may provide additional properties. It is recommended that any additional properties exist in their own unique namespace and not use the namespaces defined in these specifications.

Prefixed Name Occurs Read-only Value-type Representation Range Description
OSLC Artifact Fragment: The grouping of properties that define an artifact
rdf:type zero-or-many unspecified Resource Reference n/a The resource type URIs. One reference should have the value of http://open-services.net/ns/asset#Artifact.
dcterms:title exactly-one unspecified XMLLiteral n/a n/a The name of the artifact. Title (reference: Dublin Core) of the resource represented in text XHTML content. SHOULD include only content that is valid inside an XHTML element.

dcterms:created zero-or-one True DateTime n/a n/a Timestamp of resource creation (reference: Dublin Core).
dcterms:modified zero-or-one True DateTime n/a n/a Timestamp last latest resource modification (reference: Dublin Core).

Artifact Media

The artifact media represents the actual content of an artifact. The URI for the artifact media resource is defined by the oslc_asset:content property of an artifact fragment within an asset resource.

A client may publish a new artifact to an asset making a POST request to the asset’s artifact factory URI as defined by the oslc_asset:artifactFactory property of the asset resource. The request MUST contain an oslc_asset.name header indicating the path and name of the new artifact and the body of the POST MUST contain the contents of the artifact. A successful response from the provider MUST return a status code of 201 and a Location Header indicating the URI of the Media Resource. In addition, the provider MUST add a new artifact fragment to the asset and fill in the mandatory properties including size, and creation time. The client may later update the non-read only properties of this fragment.

See the Publish an artifact sample for additional details.

Providers MUST also support URI artifacts. URI artifacts do not contain content, but instead the oslc_asset:content property’s value is a URI external to the asset. To create a URI artifact, clients POST an artifact resource to the artifact factory URI. The request MUST contain an oslc_asset.name header indicating the path and name of the new artifact URI. A successful response from the provider MUST return a status code of 201 and a Location Header indicating the URI of the artifact URI. In addition, the provider MUST add a new artifact fragment to the asset and fill in the mandatory properties such as creation time. The client may later update the non-read only properties of this fragment.

See the Publish a URI artifact sample for additional details.

Asset Management Service Provider Capabilities

Service Discovery and Description

OSLC Asset Management service providers MUST provide a Service Provider Resource that can be retrieved at a implementation dependent URI.

OSLC Asset Management service providers MAY provide a Service Provider Catalog Resource that can be retrieved at a implementation dependent URI.

OSLC Asset Management service providers MUST provide a oslc:serviceProvider property for their defined resources that will be the URI to a Service Provider Resource.

OSLC Asset Management service providers MUST supply a value of http://open-services.net/ns/asset# for the property oslc:domain on either oslc:Service or oslc:ServiceProviderCatalog resources.

Creation Factories

OSLC Asset Management service providers MUST support Creation Factories and list them in the Service Provider Resource as defined by OSLC Core. OSLC Asset Management service providers SHOULD support Resource Shapes for Creation Factories as defined in OSLC Core Specification

Query Capabilities

OSLC Asset Management service providers MUST support the Query Capabilities as defined by OSLC Core. OSLC Asset Management service providers SHOULD support Resource Shapes for Query Capability as defined in OSLC Core Specification

The Query Capability MUST support these parameters:

  • oslc.where
  • oslc.select
  • oslc.properties
  • oslc.prefix

If shape information is NOT present with the Query Capability, service providers SHOULD use these default properties to contain the result:

Delegated User Interface Dialogs

OSLC Asset Management service providers SHOULD support the selection of resources by delegated web-based user interface dialogs Delegated UIs as defined by OSLC Core.

OSLC Asset Management service providers MAY support the creation of resources by delegated web-based user interface dialogs Delegated UIs as defined by OSLC Core.

OSLC Asset Management service providers MAY support the pre-filling of creation dialogs based on the definition at Delegated UIs.

The service providers supports the delegated UIs as follows:

Asset Management Resource Selection Creation
Asset SHOULD MAY

Version Compatibility with 1.0 Specifications

The goal is to provide a smooth transition to 2.0 for both Consumers and Providers. This section will clarify the usage of 1.0 media types so that Providers can support both 1.0 and 2.0 Consumers when HTTP requests are made for a resource with the same URI.

Media Types

For an Asset Resource format identification of RDF/XML and XML, the media type used for this representation SHOULD be application/rdf+xml or application/xml.

For an Asset Resource format identification of JSON, the media type used for this representation SHOULD be application/json.
