• Formalization of Governance Policy Models, with definition and enforcement of rules and regulations, compliance monitoring, and adaptive policies across operational environments. Governance capabilities include predefined templates, workflows, and governance policies for governing the service lifecycle as well as an approval and review process for service specifications and the ability to promote services through the stages of the service lifecycle
• Service descriptions for using, re-using, deploying, managing, discovering, validating, testing, versioning, configuring, migrating, analyzing, binding, measuring, assembling, organizing, and controlling services.

• Policy models supporting creation, deletion, edit, maintenance, discovery of policy modules. Polcies help establish constraints on the service specifications.

Service discovery and governance also helps to accomplish the following and mandate an approach. Policies can be specified around governance, access control and other design and runtime constraints.

This increases both runtime and design time flexibility by enabling selection of services based on computable metadata.
