Predefined Classification Systems
Classifications systems delivered by SAP are available in Services Registry after installation. These classifications systems are referred to as “predefined” , and have a property with the same name set.
For more information, see Structuring of Services in the Registry .
The following properties are common for all predefined classification systems:
-
Namespace : http://uddi.sap.com/classification

Checked Values : Yes
The table below provides the details of all predefined classification systems:

BasedOnServiceName |
The service provider is a service variant. This classification system relates this service variant to the name of the service provider it is based on. The variant's implementation in the back end is the same as for the service it is based on, but its WSDL is meant to be easier to understand, and leaner to consume for special use cases. In relation to the classification system uddi:uddi.sap.com:categorization:based-on-service-namespace, the service provider it is based on is uniquely identified. |

BasedOnServiceNamespace |
The service provider is a service variant. This classification system relates this service variant to the namespace of the service provider it is based on.

In relation to the classification system uddi:uddi.sap.com:categorization:based-on-service-name, the service provider it is based on is uniquely identified. |
