WS-MetadataExchange
{{One source|date=February 2024}}
WS-MetaDataExchange is a web services protocol specification, published by BEA Systems, IBM, Microsoft, and SAP. WS-MetaDataExchange is part of the
WS-Federation roadmap; and is designed to work in conjunction with WS-Addressing, WSDL and WS-Policy to allow retrieval of metadata
about a Web Services endpoint.[http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2004-03-05-a.html Cover Pages: Web Services Metadata Exchange (WS-MetadataExchange) for Service Endpoints]
It uses a SOAP message to request metadata, and so goes beyond the basic technique of appending "?wsdl" to a service name's URL
