What is the IBM WebSphere Service Registry and Repository?
WebSphere Service Registry and Repository is a system for storing, accessing and managing information, commonly referred as service metadata, used in the selection, invocation, management, governance and reuse of services in a successful SOA. In other words, it is where you store information about services in your systems, or in other organizations’ systems, that you already use, plan to use, or want to be aware of. For example, an application can check the Registry & Repository just before invoking a service to locate the service instance best satisfying its functionality and performance needs. Registry & Repository also play a role in other stages of the SOA lifecycle.
