Change and configuration management reportable REST API

The IBM® Engineering Workflow Management reportable REST API is different from many traditional domain APIs. Rather than providing resource URLs that point to specific items (ex, a single work item or a single build result), it provides access to five monolithic resources:

• foundation: Common artifacts such as project areas, team areas, contributors, iterations and links
• scm: Source Control artifacts such as streams and components, as well as stream sizing deltas
• build: Build artifacts such as build results, build result contributions, build definitions, and build engines
• apt: Agile Planning artifacts such as team capacity and resource schedules and absences
• workitem: Work Item artifacts such as work items, categories, severities, and priorities

These resources are not individual work items, or individual build results, etc. The top-level resource is a container resource which represents the result of a query for one or more elements, providing flexibility in filtering and querying. For example, a workitem resource may contain one or more elements which are actually work items, depending on the query/filter passed to the REST API.
