Example of a (partially) Self-Describing System
For the proof-of-concept, I used among others Oracles SOA Suite as an ESB, the Open Link's Universal Server Virtuoso, TopBraid Composer Master Edition, the SOA Ontology from TheOpenGroup, the W3C Web Service Ontology and for the presentation the Open Graph Viz Platform Gephi. By inference, it was possible to generate automatically corresponding classifications and transitive relationships as well as to proof the consistency.
