Provide inputs for: • Technical agreements • Electronic exchange

7. Prepare the service • Create the service • Identify the metadata Prepare Maintain the service • Validate against previous entry • Ensure conformance and integrity Populate Maintain • Populate into Global Registry / Repository • Apply Service naming convention • Harmonization • Classification • Conformance to business semantics • Validate integrity Discover Discover web services • Registry Client Interface • Specify selection criteria/filter • Classification • Business Context • Evaluate selected candidates Global Registry Content Life Cycle

Role Classification Scheme node This will appear as classification scheme node under CBPC classification scheme in tree and values of Role type will appear as child of this classification node and can be associated with catalog being submitted. Business Entity State Classification Scheme node This will appear as classification scheme node under CBPC classification scheme in tree and values of Business Entity State will appear as child of this classification node and can be associated with catalog being submitted. Event Classification Scheme node This will appear as classification scheme node under CBPC classification scheme in tree and values of Event will appear as child of this classification node and can be associated with catalog being submitted. Relationship Involves Classification Scheme node All the relationships will appear as child node under CBPC Association type classification scheme in tree. CBPC Association type is the child of CBPC scheme.

13. Implementation in Client • Login to the registry • Discovery • Select CBPC query link under search option • Search by specifying parameters or thru browse and drill down • Preparation • Submit entries to be incorporated in the CBPC • Enter the basic and additional information • Population • Select the entries thru Discovery mechanism • Evaluate - Accept / reject / hold the submitted entries • Populate – Upload the accepted entries onto a centralized CBPC repository • Maintenance • Select the entries thru Discovery mechanism • Update the Catalog details as in Preparation • Maintain metadata information for use in classifying CBPC information BACK
