Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for automating asset workflows in a service metadata repository. A service metadata repository includes an event model for generating one or more events based on a change to one or more assets. A persistent message stores the one or more events. A subscription service provides the ability to subscribe to one or more events and register one or more subscribed web service endpoints where the one or more events will be delivered. A delivery service matches the one or more events to the one or more web service endpoint and delivers the one or more events to a notification service. A notification service notifies the one or more subscribed web service endpoints of the one or more events. One or more workflows automate asset registration based on rules configured in an XML file, wherein the one or more workflows are initiated upon receiving the one or more events at a subscribed web service endpoint.

Abstract: A system and method for creating an editable service metadata asset lifecycle event notification distribution list in a service metadata repository. The system provides the capability for a distribution list owner to create a distribution list of one or more distribution recipients. A sender can send a service metadata asset lifecycle event notification to the distribution list owner, and the members of the distribution list will also receive the service metadata asset lifecycle event notification. The system further provides the capability for the sender to edit the distribution list, prior to sending the message to the distribution list owner and the members of the distribution list.

Abstract: A method is provided for creating a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) for a web service. The UUID is stored in service metadata associated with the web service. The UUID can then be used to track services and correlate service information between multiple systems. In accordance with an embodiment, a method is provided for publishing Universal Description Discovery and Integration (UDDI) service information from a metadata repository to a service registry. In accordance with an embodiment, a method is provided for receiving Universal Description Discovery and Integration (UDDI) service information from a service registry into a metadata repository.

Abstract: Embodiments are systems and methods for automatic submission of service metadata files into a metadata repository by utilizing a protocol for web-based distributed authoring and versioning to expose a folder as a virtual view of a categorization in a hierarchy of categorizations in a metadata repository. After a service metadata file is submitted to the folder, the system automatically introspects the service metadata file to identify service information, and then the system automatically creates a service asset in the metadata repository.
