Modeling and Design

The Enterprise Services Repository (ES Repository) is the central location for defining, accessing, and managing SOA assets (such as Enterprise Services and business objects). It stores the definitions and metadata of Enterprise Services and business processes whilst also providing a central modeling and design environment for creating, aggregating, and using Enterprise Services. The Services Registry supports the publication, classification, and discovery of Enterprise Services.

It provides secure, standards-based, reliable, and scalable communication between provider and consumer applications. With service bus-based integration, providers and consumers of services and events connect cross the entire system landscape, including providing access to legacy systems and B2B protocols quickly and easily.
