'''Rational ClearCase''' is a [[computer software|software]] tool for [[revision control]] ([[configuration management]], [[SCM]] etc) of [[source code]] and other software development assets. It originally derived from a product of [[Apollo Computers]]: ''DSEE'' ([[Apollo Domain|Domain]] Software Engineering Environment), which was ported to Unix and further developed by Atria Software after [[Hewlett-Packard]] bought Apollo. Atria later merged with Pure Software to form PureAtria. That firm merged with [[Rational Software]], which was purchased by [[IBM]]. IBM continues to develop and market ClearCase.

The ClearCase source code repository is identified as a versioned object base or '''VOB''' for short. A VOB contains all the data and metadata associated with a particular software project. A project can make use of several VOBs, a single VOB or multiple projects can share a VOB.
