WS-Governance is a novel XML-Based language that allows the definition of Governance Documents. WS-Governance is based on WS-Policy but extends it, following its philosophy of open syntax and extensibility. A WS-Governance Document (GD) provides governance policies definitions (based on WS-Policy elements) along with contextual metadata, sources-of-governance relevant information, and the specification of properties on which policies definitions is based.
