Open collaboration? We're big fans. Our members contribute to a variety of open source projects – not only OSLC implementations, but also tools for OSLC development – and we'd love your input.

Is your software lonely? Add support for our specifications and it'll have lots of friends to share data with. We have a guide for getting started with developing OSLC applications.

OSLC domain-specific specifications define the equivalent of schemas in RDF for enabling data interoperability. They consist of RDF vocabularies and OSLC resource shapes. RDF vocabularies are used to describe standardized resource types and properties.

We need ambassadors to spread the goodness of OSLC. This can take many forms. You can talk to your colleagues about OSLC and the potential issues it can solve. Take our slide deck and present them internally in your company or at meetups. Write a blog post about your experiences.

In the previous incarnation of OSLC the conversation was fragmented between online forums and mailing lists. We are phasing those out and archiving where necessary, and consolidating everything into one place, the OSLC Discourse forums. These are open discussions, and we chose the open source Discourse platform. Here you can ask or answer questions, share, or just lurk to learn more about various aspects of OSLC.

We work as a single group under OASIS OSLC Open Project. We have members with various interests, roles, and responsibilities. If you wish to contribute something to OSLC, we will help you to find a way to make it work. For example, to discuss a new use case for OSLC.
