OSLCfest 2022: OSLC APIs Generated by Koatl

by Juan Quintanar

Nowadays data interoperability is necessary to maintain proper communication across departments that use different applications within an organization. OSLC specifications can be adopted by vendor tools to achieve the digital thread, for example, REST APIs can combine these specifications with the aim of linking data via OSLC-Enabled capabilities.

In order to speed up OSLC API creation Koneksys has used a software factory named Koatl to generate OSLC APIs for applications having a REST API. This presentation will introduce the capabilities of these OSLC APIs including support for OSLC Core features, configuration management, Tracked Resource Set, and Authentication. These OSLC APIs are also interoperable with IBM ELM applications including IBM GCM. The presentation will also present how link editors can be created for Web applications as Web browser extensions, in order to provide a high degree of UI customization while also reusing as much as possible a common code base.
