SCM Terminology
This table attempts to correlate the terminology of various SCM systems involved in OSLC. Note that the correspondence is unlikely to be exact - there is quite a bit a flexibility in the translation of some terms between these different systems. The table includes WVCM not because WVCM is involved in OSLC, but as an aid to translation because its terminology is reasonably well defined at http://www.webdav.org/deltav/wvcm/wvcm-overview.html, and might be familiar to experts in the other SCM systems Note that the following table is sortable - click on any column heading to sort by that column.| WVCM | ClearCase | Team Concert | Synergy |
