OSLC4Net is an SDK and sample applications to help the .NET community to adopt OSLC (Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration) and build OSLC-compliant tools.
The current content of the project is the source for a .NET SDK written in C#. The SDK allows developers to create OSLC providers or consumers by adding OSLC annotations to .NET objects to allow them to be represented as OSLC resources. It includes a library based on the dotNetRDF package which assists with representing these resources as RDF/XML and which helps parse RDF/XML documents into OSLC .NET objects.
The ASP.NET MVC 4 library can be used to assist with creating consumer REST requests or to help create a provider which can process OSLC REST requests.
The project currently contains the SDK and a sample OSLC Change Management client. A sample provider using the SDK is one of the top priorities for the project.
If you do not have a .NET development environment, start by downloading Visual Studio 2017 Community and SQL Server 2016 Express. Make sure to install ASP.NET-related options for Visual Studio and LocalDB for SQL Server.
OSLC4Net.StockQuoteSample is a sample OSLC provider which implements one resource type, a StockQuote. This resource is not defined by an OSLC specification, it shows how OSLC4Net can be used to create an experimental OSLC provider.
- Build the
OSLC4Net_SDK\OSLC4Net.Core.slnsolution - Right click the
OSLC4Net.StockQuoteSampleproject and run it via Debug->Start new instance
You'll see a web page created - that is currently just a skeleton provided by ASP.NET. You can close it. Try performing a GET request on the follwing URLs in a tool like Poster or Advanced REST Client (make sure to set the Accept header to application/rdf+xml:
- http://localhost:7077/api/stockquote - returns all StockQuotes
- http://localhost:7077/api/stockquote?getShape=true - returns the StockQuote OSLC resource shape
- http://localhost:7077/api/stockquote/nasdaq_goog - returns an individual StockQuote
A request to the first URL using Fiddler should have the following response:
- See the OSLC site for more details on OSLC specifications and community activities.
- See the Eclipse Lyo site for information on OSLC SDKs and samples for other technologies.
