SMP

eDelivery dynamic-discovery building block, OASIS BDXR SMP profile.

Definition

An SMP exposes, over HTTP REST, a recipient's capabilities: AS4 access-point URL, transport certificate, supported process identifiers and document types. The sender queries it before transmission to resolve the real address of corner C2/C3. It is the "publish" element of the four-corner discovery model.

Origin

Specified by OASIS Service Metadata Publishing (BDX-SMP) Version 1.0 / 2.0 from the OASIS Business Document Exchange (BDXR) Technical Committee; profiled by eDelivery (CEF/Digital Europe Programme) and PEPPOL.
