Abstract

Techniques for providing a distributed standards registry are provided. A DSR system may include a plurality of distributed standards registry participants that are collectively configured to provide control logic for the distributed standards registry using a consensus voting mechanism to make control decisions. The DSR system includes include a distributed ontology model library maintained on the plurality of distributed standards registry participants and storing a plurality of ontology models, and a distributed federation broker registry maintained across the plurality of distributed standards registry participants. A first distributed standards registry participant of the plurality of distributed standards registry participants includes a discovery processor operable to receive and process federation participant queries and a registry processor operable to receive and process registration requests to register the federation broker as providing brokerage services related to a federation service described by one of the plurality of ontology models.

Dependent claims

A system for providing a distributed standards registry for a federated computing environment, comprising:

a plurality of distributed standards registry participants that are collectively configured to provide control logic for the distributed standards registry to make control decisions, wherein the plurality of distributed standards registry participants are configured to maintain a synchronized copy of a distributed ontology model library comprising a plurality of ontology models, wherein a first ontology model of the plurality of ontology models comprises ontological data that describes federation services based on relationships between components of the federated computing environment;
and
a distributed federation broker registry maintained across the plurality of distributed standards registry participants and storing registration information for a plurality of federation brokers providing brokerage services related to at least one federation service described by the plurality of ontology models,
wherein a first distributed standards registry participant of the plurality of distributed standards registry participants further comprises:
a discovery processor operable to receive and process queries from potential federation participants using a first at least one ontology model from the plurality of ontology models;
and
a registry processor operable to receive and process registration requests from potential federation brokers using a second at least one ontology model of the plurality of ontology models.
