Linked Data is increasingly being adopted for the integration of software tools, especially with the emergence of the Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) standard on tool interoperability. In this paper, we present a modelling approach – with accompanying tool support – for the specification of Linked Data resources, focusing on the particular needs of tool-chain development. The approach provides graphical models for the specification of constraints on resources being shared in the tool-chain. Moreover, it aims to maintain a centralized understanding and management of the overall information model being handled in the federated tool-chain architecture. This is achieved through an integrated set of modelling views that cover the early phases of tool-chain development.
