1. A method of obtaining a service from a second cloud domain, the method being performed by a first cloud domain and comprising:
- registering with a metadata orchestrator framework repository to connect to a plurality of cloud domains, which are registered with the metadata orchestrator framework repository, and obtain metadata parameters of the plurality of cloud domains;
identifying the second cloud domain which provides the service from among the plurality of cloud domains by analyzing the metadata parameters of the plurality of cloud domains;
receiving, from the second cloud domain, an indication of data which is owned by the first cloud domain and requested by the second cloud domain to perform the service;
transmitting the requested data along with metadata corresponding to the requested data to the second cloud domain; and
retrieving generic metadata corresponding to the requested data,wherein the generic metadata comprises;
regular metadata which indicates at least one of authorship and last modification date of the requested data; and
function specific metadata which indicates at least one of an access policy, history, compliance information, and data ownership information associated with the requested data, andwherein at least one of the registering, the identifying, the receiving, and the transmitting is performed by a processor.

12. A method of providing a service to a first cloud domain, the method being performed by a second cloud domain and comprising:
-
receiving a request from the first cloud domain to perform the service; determining data of the first cloud domain which is necessary to perform the service; transmitting an indication of the data to the first cloud domain; receiving the data along with metadata corresponding to the data from the first cloud domain; and providing the service based on the data and the metadata, wherein the first cloud domain is registered with a metadata orchestrator framework repository, through which the first cloud domain connects to the second cloud domain and obtains metadata parameters of the second cloud domain, wherein the first cloud domain retrieves generic metadata corresponding to the data, wherein the generic metadata comprises; regular metadata which indicates at least one of authorship and last modification date of the data; and function specific metadata which indicates at least one of an access policy, history, compliance information, and data ownership information associated with the data, and wherein at least one of the receiving, the determining, the transmitting, the receiving, and the providing is performed by a processor. - View Dependent Claims (13)

14. A metadata orchestrator residing in a first cloud domain, comprising:
-
a processor; a storage; and an input/output unit, the storage storing instructions that enable the processor to carry out operations comprising; registering with a metadata orchestrator framework repository to connect to a plurality of cloud domains, which are registered with the metadata orchestrator framework repository, and obtain metadata parameters of the plurality of cloud domains; identifying a second cloud domain which provides a service from among the plurality of cloud domains by analyzing the metadata parameters of the plurality of cloud domains; receiving, from the second cloud domain, an indication of data which is owned by the first cloud domain and requested by the second cloud domain to perform the service; transmitting the requested data along with metadata corresponding to the requested data to the second cloud domain; and retrieving generic metadata corresponding to the requested data, wherein the generic metadata comprises; regular metadata which indicates at least one of authorship and last modification date of the requested data; and function specific metadata which indicates at least one of an access policy, history, compliance information, and data ownership information associated with the requested data. - View Dependent Claims (15)

16. A metadata manager residing in a second cloud domain, comprising:
-
a processor; a storage; and an input/output unit, the storage storing instructions that enable the processor to carry out operations comprising; receiving a request from a first cloud domain to perform a service; determining data of the first cloud domain which is necessary to perform the service; transmitting an indication of the data to the first cloud domain; receiving the data along with metadata corresponding to the data from the first cloud domain; and providing the service based on the data and the metadata, wherein the first cloud domain is registered with a metadata orchestrator framework repository, through which the first cloud domain connects to the second cloud domain and obtains metadata parameters of the second cloud domain, wherein the first cloud domain retrieves generic metadata corresponding to the data, and wherein the generic metadata comprises; regular metadata which indicates at least one of authorship and last modification date of the data; and function specific metadata which indicates at least one of an access policy, history, compliance information, and data ownership information associated with the data. - View Dependent Claims (17)
