The SWIM Service Description Specification prescribes the minimum set of elements to be contained in a service description. However, it does not prescribe a specific format for the service description. Whatever the format, it is important to be able to satisfy the requirements.

This section of the handbook provides examples for a fictitious TOBTSetting service in different formats:

Example service description - Donlon TOBT Setting Service. This is presented as a series of tables (such as those that could appear on a web page or in a document).
Example service description using the Service Metadata Schema. This example uses the JSON format and conforms to the Service Metadata Schema.

Of course, you can also find real life service descriptions in the European SWIM Registry.
