A method, system, and apparatus for enabling exchange of an open service for value in an electronic commerce system. The present embodiment creates an open service description and an open service contract view application programming interface (API) that enable operation of an open service instance in an electronic commerce system. The open service contract view enables message passing between open service instances by mapping programming language code to an open service instance. That is, the present embodiment includes an interface to convert code, such as object-based technology or linguistic communication technology, such as agent software, or code written to comply with an Interface Definition Language (IDL), into an open service instance. The present embodiment also includes information that enables charging and billing associated with performance of the open service.
