1. Introduction

This section is non-normative.

This specification describes the vocabulary of OSLC PROMCODE specification. Class as defined in [rdf-schema] is used as a grouping of resources in PROMCODE. Every PROMCODE resource is a member of some class defined in PROMCODE. Properties are instances of Class rdf:Property defined in [rdf-schema] and describe a relation between subject resources and object resources. PROMCODE specification introduces fourteen classes and twenty nine properties. Among the fourteen classes, two classes are used as "abstract class" of other classes as "subclasses". More specifically, ManagedItem is an abstract class that has ScopeItem, WorkItem, Artifact, Issue and Risk classes as subclasses. Also, ManagedItemCollection is an abstract class with Plan, Report, RiskCollection and IssueCollection classes as subclasses.

2. Terminology

This section is non-normative.

Terminology is based on OSLC Core Overview [OSLCCore3] , W3C Linked Data Platform [LDP], W3C's Architecture of the World Wide Web [WEBARCH], Hyper-text Transfer Protocol [HTTP11]. Terminology for this specification is defined in part 1 of the multi-part specification.
