| 20090049025 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HARVESTING SERVICE METADATA FROM AN ARCHITECTURE DIAGRAM INTO A METADATA REPOSITORY - Embodiments of the invention are generally related to architecture diagrams and metadata repositories, particularly with regards to systems and methods for harvesting service metadata from an architecture diagram into a metadata repository. One embodiment includes a service metadata repository communicating through an application programming interface to a plug-in to an architecture design tool. One embodiment includes updating service metadata entities in the service metadata repository based on architecture diagram entities in an architecture diagram. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090064205 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HARVESTING SERVICE METADATA FROM A METADATA REPOSITORY INTO AN ARCHITECTURE DIAGRAM - Embodiments of the invention are generally related to architecture diagrams and metadata repositories, particularly with regards to systems and methods for harvesting service metadata from a metadata repository into an architecture diagram. One embodiment includes a plug-in to an architecture design tool communicating to the service metadata repository through an application programming interface. One embodiment includes incorporating service metadata entities from a service metadata repository into architecture diagram entities in an architecture diagram. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090182750 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FLASH FOLDER ACCESS TO SERVICE METADATA IN A METADATA REPOSITORY - 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. | 07-16-2009 |
| 20100161629 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HARVESTING METADATA INTO A SERVICE METADATA REPOSITORY - Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) engines and Enterprise Service Buses (ESBs) often connect to adapters to integrate backend packaged applications with a process flow by invoking web services using Java Connector Architecture (JCA) and Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) bindings. The Web Service Description Language (WSDL) files for the web services that interact with the adapters can be introspected to harvest adapter integration and transformation information into a service metadata repository. This permits dependency and impact analysis to extend from services to adapters and transformations. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100205224 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CREATING AND MANAGING UNIVERSALLY UNIQUE IDENTIFIERS FOR SERVICES - 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. | 08-12-2010 |
