About the Service

The eDelivery Service Metadata Publisher (SMP) enables the participants of an eDelivery Messaging Infrastructure to dynamically discover each other's capabilities (Legal, Organisational, and Technical). For this to happen, each participant must publish its capabilities and settings in a SMP. SMPs hold key information about the participants of large eDelivery Messaging Infrastructures, for example:

  • business processes the participant supports
  • the security setup (public key certificate)
  • the transport protocol (e.g. AS4)
  • the location of the receiver's access point

The SMPs are usually distributed serving metadata for multiple participants, nonetheless, each participant publishes his metadata in one and only one SMP. Because of this distributed architecture, each participant has to have a unique ID. A central component, called Service Metadata Locator (SML), uses these IDs to create URLs that, when resolved, direct the eDelivery Access Points towards the specific SMP of the participant.

The current SMP software component maintained by the European Commission implements the e-Delivery SMP profile based on the OASIS Service Metadata Publishing (BDX SMP) specifications.
