ebXML Registry Overview

ebXML Registry Technical Committee Defining and managing interoperable registries and repositories The OASIS ebXML Registry TC develops specifications to achieve interoperable registries and repositories, with an interface that enables submission, query and retrieval on the contents of the registry and repository.

The Specifications ebXML Registry Information Model Defines what metadata and content can be stored in the registry ebXML Registry Services and Protocols Defines the services and service interfaces provided by the registry Defines the API for accessing the registry ISO Standard, Part 3 and 4

ebXML Registry Standard Metadata Federated Information Manage- ment SOA Governance Events Secure Architecture Cataloging, Validation, Version Control, Lifecycle Support, Extensible Info Model Taxonomies, Classifications, Associations Federated Queries, Inter-registry links Digital Signatures, Audit Trail, Access Control, SAML SSO SOA Registry Repository Registration, Discovery, Queries Content-Based Event Notification Key ebXML Registry Features at a Glance

Federated Information Management Multiple ebXML Registries may be federated together to appear as a single virtual registry/repository Seamless information integration and sharing Allows local autonomy over data ebXML Registry relies on SAML – the federated identity management standard

Key Benefits of ebXML Registry Provides standard way to manage information assets Manages user-defined organization of and relationships among content and metadata Enforces user-defined standards for content Includes capabilities for managing and governance of information asset lifecycles

Key Benefits (contd.) Provides flexible mechanisms for content discovery Manages secure access to information assets Facilitates event-based delivery of information to appropriate personnel or systems Enables integration of information assets across organizational boundaries

OASIS ebXML RegRep The System of Record for SOA Governance

Overview Overview of SOA Governance Role of Registry Repository in SOA Some Options for SOA Registry Repository ebXML Registry as SOA Registry Repository

Benefits of SOA Service component centric architecture Loosely coupled components Multiple message exchange patterns Standards based service description Platform-neutral component integration More declarative logic, less code Improved resilience to change

Challenges of SOA Complexity grows with scale ➢ Many moving parts to manage Service description is more complex ➢ Dependencies, assemblies,... Component reuse and leverage Composite Services Component dependency management

Challenges of SOA (2) Service evolution and versioning Change notification Service vocabulary management and harmonization Service configuration management Need to manage change effectively at design time and run time Need policies to consistently and predictably manage change

What is SOA Governance It is the process of enforcing organizational policies and standards within a SOA deployment Influences service lifecycle end-to-end ➢ development, evolution, phased-deployment, retiring and repurposing Organizational policies evolve over time Need a flexible solution to enable SOA governance

Why is SOA Governance Important Enables organizations to be even more agile and resilient to change: ➢ Improves consistency and quality ➢ Can easily adapt to changing ➢ requirements ➢ Reduces cost

Why SOA Governance Needs an Integrated Registry/Repository Governance is enforcing organizational policies across entire SOA deployment Policies are enforced where artifacts are stored – in the “System of Record” Registry is not enough – need repository Repository stores the actual artifacts Registry stores metadata about the artifacts An integrated registry/repository ensures consistent storage, management and reuse of artifacts according to organizational policies

Some Options for SOA Registry Repository ebXML RegRep with JAXR API provides an integrated standards-based registry and repository

ebXML Registry 3.0: Brief SOA Demonstration

Summary

Future Directions More profiles: XML Schema, BPEL... More protocol bindings First class type extensibility Pluggable repositories Checking, checkout, lock, merge

Summary ebXML Registry is a standard (OASIS and ISO) for secure, federated information management It includes both Registry and Repository It supports many diverse use cases Its extensibility features enable many domain-specific profiles It is being deployed in diverse applications by organizations worldwide
