The invention provides a system and a method for providing those client applications having access to services in a first domain with access to services in another domain via a standardized interface such as the one specified under OSA/PARLAY standardization bodies. Therefore, in accordance with the invention, there is provided a framework-to-framework interface whereby a number of domains are enabled to offer services to another number of domains, and whereby a particular first framework in a first domain can proceed to discover available service enablers in other domains via corresponding second frameworks in said other domains. Thus, in accordance with the invention, a first domain is enabled to offer services to its client applications from a second domain in addition to those services already offered by said first domain itself. In addition the invention expands the system and method with ways to specify, communicate and enforce the agreements between the domains involved. |
