Open Resource Discovery Specification

Summary
Open Resource Discovery (ORD) is a protocol that enables applications and services to self-describe their exposed resources and capabilities. It supports both static documentation and runtime tenant-specific configuration and extensions.
To learn more, have a look at the Open Resource Discovery Specification documentation.
ℹ ORD is an open standard by SAP, currently geared towards the SAP ecosystem. However, it is designed as a generic standard that can be used outside SAP with appropriate infrastructure (aggregators and namespace registry). The standard is extensible through extensibility attributes, custom types, and policy levels.
Communication, Feedback & FAQ
If you have feedback, questions or problems, please create a GitHub issue.
Ownership and Governance
The ORD standard is governed by the Linux Foundation / NeoNephos, a neutral nonprofit organization that supports the development of open-source projects and standards. See ORD steering committee.
