This document discusses DocDokuPLM, an open source product lifecycle management and document management system. It introduces DocDokuPLM and its features for managing product structures, documents, and 3D models. It then discusses how DocDokuPLM is being developed as a Platform as a Service (PaaS) through the introduction of a REST API and software development kits. Finally, it provides examples of companies that are using DocDokuPLM, including the company itself for its web application, and invites the reader to consider using it.

Annotations in the REST layer
Specific annotations (not standard yet), we use Swagger
Describes inputs, outputs, names, HTTP codes
@Api("documents")
public class DocumentResource ...
@ApiOperation(value = "Create a document", response = Document.class)
public Document createDocument (
@ApiParam(value = "Document to create") Document document
...
@Api("documents")
public class DocumentResource ...
@ApiOperation(value = "Create a document", response = Document.class)
public Document createDocument (
@ApiParam(value = "Document to create") Document document
...
