SWIM service ecosystem

The SWIM service ecosystem is used to:

understand how the various services, service developments and SWIM Registry relate to each other
promote harmonisation by identifying opportunities for service definitions
promote harmonisation through the use of services in multiple contexts
promote harmonisation by identifying shared characteristics between services (e.g. service categories, standardised implementations)
enable more efficient service developments by making relevant artefacts available

The Service Ecosystem includes:

Service Portfolio: Captures possible sources of services and a derived list of potential services.
Service Developments: Any activity developing a service description or service definition or service overview.
- Service Harmonisation Resources used to harmonise the service developments.
Service Registry: The European SWIM Registry is the target repository for SWIM services in Europe.
