The OSLC4MBSE Working Group has been initiated in 2013 as a collaborative effort between members of the OMG Systems Engineering and OSLC communities as part of the OMG SE DSIG. The aim of this working group is to investigate and develop an approach for multidisciplinary life-cycle integration in systems engineering, in order to support interoperability between the domains and their data. The graphical modeling language OMG SysML™ and its concepts represent a subset of the systems engineering domain which supports general-purpose modeling of systems. The Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) is a tool interoperability approach based on standardized and open Web technologies that enables common interoperability across various domains. The initial focus of this working group is to investigate how SysML concepts can be implemented using OSLC to achieve life-cycle integration. Demonstrations are being planned to illustrate the approach.

Objectives:

• Investigate and develop an approach for multidisciplinary life-cycle integration in systems engineering
• Investigate how SysML concepts can be implemented using OSLC to achieve life-cycle integration.
• Define MBSE interoperability scenarios
• Define OSLC specifications for MBSE
• Implement and demonstrate interoperability solutions
• Disseminate the approach within the wider systems engineering community

Scope:

• Modeling-Based Engineering languages and tools
• Reuse existing standards, as much as possible and wherever meaningful (e.g. OSLC specifications)
• Integrations with other engineering domains (PLM, ALM)

The SysML RDF vocabulary is a data representation that can enable linked data exchange using OSLC. This vocabulary is published in HTML by the OMG at http://www.omg.org/techprocess/experimental-rdf/SysML/1.3/, which is also the SysML vocabulary namespace URI. A REST client such as Postman (http://www.getpostman.com/), can be used to retrieve the vocabulary in RDF/XML.

This SysML vocabulary is an experimental version that results from feedback of several members of the OSCL4MBSE Working Group over several months, but has not gone through a formal approval or adoption process by the Working Group or the Object Management Group. It is anticipated that this vocabulary will continue to be updated, and serve as a starting point for a possible OMG Request for Proposal (RFP) in the future.
