The WS-Manageability: Representation document provides the interface definitions based on the model as WSDL 1.1 and GWSDL renderings.

The WS-Manageability: Representation document provides the interface definitions based on the model as WSDL 1.1 and GWSDL renderings. These definitions are meant to show how the topics and aspects concepts along with concrete models can influence the development of consistent Web services interfaces for accessing the manageability information of Web services. The interfaces illustrate how the manageability model for Web services can be divided into aspects of topics that apply to all manageable resources and aspects of topics that apply only to the manageability of Web service endpoints. The interfaces that may apply to all manageable resources may be incorporated into the "WSDM Management Using Web Services" specification. The details of these WSDL interfaces specific to managing a Web service endpoint may change to remain consistent with the "WSDM Management Using Web Services" specification when it is available.

This document is provided as a submission to the OASIS Web Services Distributed Management Technical Committee and to the Web service community in general.
