Abstract

The previous chapter introduced service marketplaces as fundamental tool that enables and benefits service ecosystems. The application of service marketplaces for enterprise resource planning is a growing market. The operation of such an online marketplace requires a governance approach that lies adjacent to the requirements of a SOA and the more general governance of IT. It also has requirements of its own, especially when it comes to the description of services with languages such as USDL. In this chapter, we propose four building blocks as a basis for a governance framework that is capable of supporting the operation of a service marketplace. The research is based on existing frameworks and also takes into consideration the particularities of emerging SOA Governance approaches. We emphasize the processes required for the management of service descriptions.
