Working with assertions

Assertions are characteristics that describe the capabilities of an endpoint.

You can define these capabilities along five dimensions: Performance, Reliability, Interoperability, Security, and Manageability.

You have the ability to extend the Industry Ontology to add assertions that are custom to their Enterprise IT environment.

At runtime, the IBM® Business Services Dynamic Assembler uses these characteristics to find the best suited endpoint or service realization for a consumer based on their business requirements. In our meta model, these business requirements are called Policies.
