Description
This is an endpoint reference to a metadata resource and is of the type EndpointReferenceType as
defined by WS-Addressing . This metadata resource must support the Get operation, WS-Transfer , to
allow the retrieval of the metadata unit for the MetadataSection class's dialect and identifier.
mex:MetadataReference
The mex:Location element may be used to specify a reference to an HTTP metadata resource. A re-
quester may use an HTTP GET operation on the indicated URL to retrieve the metadata.
mex:Location
This contains one MetadataSection child class for each distinct unit of metadata. When there is a large

Since SBDH standardizes the way data is presented, the data elements within SBDH can
be easily located and leveraged by multiple applications. SBDH is a business document
header and should not be confused with a transport header. It is created before the trans-
port routing header is applied to the document and is retained after the transport header is
removed.
Although SBDH is not the transport header, data in it can be used by transport applica-
tions to determine the routing header since it does contain the sender, receiver, and docu-
ment details. It can also be used by business applications to determine the appropriate pro-
cess that is to be performed on the business document. The specifications are explained in
the following section.
WS-Policy
This very wide specification establishes conditions and restrictions for a service's invoca-
tion and consequently for all compositions it may participate in. The details of WS-Policy
are as follows:
