Original Abstract Submitted

In one or more embodiments, a metadata-driven user interface is implemented for presenting a set of available services, provided by a plurality of vendors, to a particular service consumer. The system queries metadata associated with of a set of candidate vendors to identify services provided by the candidate vendors that are available to a service consumer. The system generates and customizes the meta-driven interface for the service consumer based on the services available. The system receives user input selecting at least one of the services provided by a vendor. The system then queries configuration information associated with the particular service. The configuration information includes, for example, a workflow associated with the service, and identification of the service consumer's information to be used in execution of the workflow associated with the service. The system obtains the service consumer's information and uses the service consumer's information to cause execution of the workflow.
