Clear English-language summary of the specification: Service Metadata
Publishing
(SMP) describes a protocol for publishing service metadata within a 4-corner
network. In a 4-corner network, entities are exchanging business documents
through intermediary gateway services (sometimes called Access Points). To
successfully send a business document in a 4-corner network, an entity must
be
able to discover critical metadata about the recipient (endpoint) of the
business document, such as types of documents the endpoint is capable of
receiving and methods of transport supported. The recipient makes this
metadata
available to other entities in the network through a Service Metadata
Publisher
service. This specification describes the request/response exchanges between
a
Service Metadata Publisher and a client wishing to discover endpoint
information. A client can either be an end-user business application or a
gateway/access point in the 4-corner network. SMP also defines the request
processing that must happen at the client.
Relationship of this specification to similar work: The Service Metadata
Publishing (SMP) specification is related to the Business Document Metadata
Service Location (BDXL) specification, also developed by the BDXR TC.
Together
they form a complete mechanism for entities to discover how to successfully
exchange business document in a 4-corner network, such as ascertaining
endpoint
addresses, transport protocols and document formats.

Sources of explanatory information:
Notes: SMP and BDXL are in common use in 4-cornered public networks around
the
world, such as in Australia where they are used in the public-private
e-invoicing infrastructure (see
http://digitalbusinesscouncil.com.au/digital-capability-locator/ and
http://digitalbusinesscouncil.com.au/digital-capability-publisher/), and in
the
European Union where they are used by the Commission and its Member States
for
cross-border exchange of business documents such as in public procurement,
healthcare and for legal documents between courts (see
http://ec.europa.eu/inea/sites/inea/files/building_block_dsi-introdocument_edelivery_v1_00.pdf).
