Governing services and associated metadata

WSRR plays an enabler role for SOA governance, offering increased visibility, with control over reuse, service compliance validation, and change impact analysis.

Governance is supported in the WSRR content model through predefined properties and relationships, state machines, and a number of API and UI functions that can be used in governance processes. Lifecycle phase, operational state, and service definition status are all used to offer a mechanism for use, reuse, visibility, and operational readiness.
