In the Windchill OSLC Change Management domain, the attributes dcterms:title and dcterms:identifier are available as queryable properties. You can use the oslc.where and oslc.select query parameters to filter and retrieve specific resources.
Example
Exact match on title:
https://<Windchill-server>/Windchill/oslc/cm/ChangeRequest?oslc.where=dcterms:title=DemoChangeRequest
This query returns the change request whose title is exactly DemoChangeRequest.
Wildcard match on title:
https://<Windchill-server>/Windchill/oslc/cm/ChangeRequest?oslc.where=dcterms:title=Demo*
This query returns all change requests whose titles begin with Demo.

The default page size for the query service is set to 25, with a maximum allowable limit of 500.
