Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration

As of June 2013, the OSLC initiative is a Member Section of the Open Standard Organization OASIS.

[6] The effort was formalized in 2009 with the formation of the Change Management workgroup [7] and participation of individuals from Accenture, Eclipse Mylyn/Tasktop,[8] and IBM.

Since then, new workgroups have formed around other lifecycle topics and individuals representing about 30 different organizations, including Oracle, Siemens, Northrop Grumman, Tieto, and General Motors.

IBM's Cloud and Smarter Infrastructure brand is also starting to use OSLC as an integration technology.

OSLC also specifies user interface techniques to enable preview, creation and selection of links.
