Summary

Open Resource Discovery (ORD) is a protocol that allows applications and services to self-describe their exposed resources and capabilities. It can be used to describe static documentation, but can also reflect tenant specific configuration and extensions (at run-time).​

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 built to be a generic standard and could be used outside of SAP, if the infrastructure (aggregators, namespace registry) is built or adjusted. The standard is extensible through extensibility attributes, custom types and policy levels.
