IBM Statement of Use for OASIS Requirements Management Specification, Version 2.1, Committee Specification 01

["Jim Amsden" <jamsden@us.ibm.com>]

As IBM's Primary
Representative to OASIS, I, Jason Keirstead (Jason.Keirstead@ca.ibm.com),
approve the following statement of use:

IBM has successfully
implemented the OASIS Requirements Management Specification, Version 2.1,
Committee Specification 01 (http://docs.oasis-open.org/oslc-domains/oslc-rm/v2.1/oslc-rm-v2.1-part1-requirements-management-spec.html)
dated 24 August 2018, in accordance with the conformance clauses defined
in Section 5 "Conformance" of that specification. This use of
the specification is implemented in Rational DOORS Next Generation version
5.0 and beyond, and includes interoperability with other similar independent
implementations, as well as integration with tools supporting other OSLC
domain specifications including Rational Team Concert (Change Management),
and Rational Design Manager (Architecture Management). 

Some background
on the versioning: OSLC Core 3.0 has additional capabilities and vocabulary
over what was in OSLC Core 2.0, referenced in OSLC Requirements Management
2.0 (developed on open-services.net), and implemented in DNG. DNG does
not implement these additional capabilities. But since 1) OSLC Core 3.0
is intended to be backward compatible with 2.0, 2) all the new features
are optional and 3) OASIS Requirements Management 2.1 is a document maintenance
release, covering migration from open-services.net to OASIS document formatting
and layout conventions and does not introduce any substantive changes,
DNG can state conformance and is a valid statement of use for these specifications.
