Title	Machine-readable service interface definition
Identifier	SWIM-DEFN-320
Requirement	If the service interface binding specifies the use of machine-readable formats, a service definition should include or refer to a service interface definition in a machine-readable format using a standard service definition formalism/language.
Rationale	The machine-readable format enables consumer software components to be created.
Verification	Completeness: If the service interface binding supports it, verify that the required elements are included. Consistency: Verify that provided elements are consistent with the selected binding. Correctness: Not Applicable.
Examples/Notes	Example: title: Interface WSDL description: Machine processable description of the service interface reference: public:/2019-09/TOBT_Interface.wsdl Other examples include the use of the OpenAPI Specification that standardises how HTTP APIs are described.
Level of Implementation	Recommended - Conditional

Guidance

Note: 'include' means to embed the machine-readable format into the service definition. It is still a separate artefact.
