Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- creating a service metadata file with an integrated development environment;
submitting the service metadata file into a folder, wherein the folder is a virtual view of a categorization in a hierarchy of categorizations in a metadata repository, and wherein the folder is exposed by a protocol for web-based distributed authoring and versioning;
automatically introspecting the service metadata file to identify service information; and
using the identified service information to automatically create a service asset in the metadata repository, wherein the service asset represents the service metadata file, and wherein the service asset is located in the categorization in the hierarchy of categorizations in the metadata repository.

Abstract
Embodiments are systems and methods for automatic submission of service metadata files into a metadata repository by utilizing a protocol for web-based distributed authoring and versioning to expose a folder as a virtual view of a categorization in a hierarchy of categorizations in a metadata repository. After a service metadata file is submitted to the folder, the system automatically introspects the service metadata file to identify service information, and then the system automatically creates a service asset in the metadata repository.

15. A computer-based system for ubiquitous access to a metadata repository, comprising:
-
a metadata repository on an application server, wherein the metadata repository stores metadata assets that represent service metadata files; a folders application on the application server, wherein the folders application supports a protocol for web-based distributed authoring and versioning; wherein a user uses a client machine to access metadata assets stored in the metadata repository; and wherein the service metadata is displayed through folders to the user. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
