Service Provider

Service Provider creates a [[web service]] and provides its information to the [[service registry]].

Each provider debates upon a lot of hows and whys like which service to expose, which to give more importance: security or easy availability, what price to offer the service for and many more.

The provider also has to decide what category the service should be listed in for a given [[broker service]] and what sort of trading partner agreements are required to use the service.
