Overview

(this section is informative)

The general approach taken by the Architecture Management (AM) workgroup follows the OSLC Change Management team's lead by not attempting to re-define model storage formats or even model or other architecture management resource notations, but rather extract out a least common denominator, that could be managed by an AM server, and still be useful to the overall goal of architecture management in a collaborative ALM environment. This does not prevent knowledgeable clients from getting and making use of internal resource content.

The AM resource properties are not limited to the ones defined in this specification. It is recommended to contribute resource properties in their own unique namespace. Service providers MUST NOT reuse or re-define properties or terms defined in this specification.
