For a webservice to be usable in WebLicht it must have an orchestration description in a CMDI format designed for WebLicht webservices. To make this process easier a CMDI orchestration metadata editing tool was created. It can be found [https://weblicht.sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/ here (coming soon)].
+
For a webservice to be usable in WebLicht the following steps should be undertaken:
  
=Using the COMET editing tool=
+
* a CMDI metadata file should be created for each webservice ([[Editing Webservice CMDI Metadata]]),
 
+
* CMDI metadata files should be stored in a repository,
In the front page you are presented with a choice of uploading an exiting CMDI file or creating a new one either starting from scratch or from an existing CMDI. Once this choice is made you will be redirected to the editing page. This page is split into two sections as described below.
+
* the repository must be registred in the center registry ([[Making the CMDI Metadata Harvestable]]).
 
+
==General Information==
+
 
+
In this section general information about the webservice is edited. Please make sure to fill all the fields. If any of the fields is highlighted in red, an error has occurred. In the accompanying error message the precise nature of the error will be explained. Pay particular attention to the '''PID''' field which must contained a unique PID for your webservice. Some fields are greyed out, that means that they will be filled in automatically.
+
 
+
==Orchestration Information==
+
 
+
This section is dedicated to the orchestration metadata used by WebLicht to chain the webservice. The orchestration metadata view is split into two tables, one for input and one for output. The editor is designed to assist you in the registration process, but one must still have the basic understanding of the chaining process to edit the orchestration metadata.
+
 
+
Follow these general guidelines when editing orchestration metadata:
+
* When creating feature names:
+
** use the suggested feature names whenever possible
+
** do not use the same feature name twice
+
 
+
