 ODM provided access control to, and versioning of, decision service artifacts
 ODM tracked most events occurring on a decision service and its artifacts
(changes, updates, follow, collaborations, discussions, social streams)
YET
 It provided exclusively granular version-based support to put these events
into the context of “releases” and/or development activities performed by a
team
 It provided the versioning-based building blocks for lifecycle governance, but
no automatic organization around releasing new rule projects.
