WebSphere Service Registry and Repository Handbook

Service-oriented architecture offers the promise of business agility and resilience through reuse, loose coupling, flexibility, interoperability, integration and governance. These are realized by separating service descriptions from their implementations, and using this descriptive metadata across the service lifecycle.

Standards-based service metadata artefacts, such as Web Service Description Language, XML schema, policy or Service Component Architecture documents, capture the technical details of what a service can do, how it can be invoked, or what it expects other services to do. Semantic annotations and other metadata can be associated with these artefacts to offer insight to potential users of the service about how and when it can be used, and what purposes it serves.

IBM WebSphere Service Registry and Repository (WSRR) is the master metadata repository for service interaction endpoint descriptions. As the integration point of service metadata, WSRR establishes a central point for finding and managing service metadata. Once service metadata is placed in WSRR, visibility is controlled, versions are managed, proposed changes are analyzed and communicated, and usage is monitored.

This IBM Redbook discusses the architecture and functions of IBM WebSphere Service Registry and Repository along with sample integration scenarios that can be used as examples for implementing WebSphere Service Registry and Repository in a customer service-oriented architecture environment.
