## Overall description

To successfully send a business document in a (4-corner) network, an entity must be able to discover critical metadata about 
the recipient (Access Point) of the business document, such as types of documents the Access Point is capable of receiving 
and methods of transport supported. The recipient makes this metadata available to other entities in the network through 
a Service Metadata Publisher service. The eDelivery SMP profile describes the request/response exchanges between a 
Service Metadata Publisher and a client wishing to discover Access Point metadata. The profile is based on the 
OASIS Service Metadata Publishing (SMP) Version 1.0 standard. 

The eDelivery SMP application is an implementation of the eDelivery SMP profile. The application also has a feature to 
configure the integration to SML using  [PEPPOL Transport Infrastructure SML specifications](https://docs.peppol.eu/edelivery/sml/ICT-Transport-SML_Service_Specification-101.pdf).

eDelivery SMP is the Open Source project of the AS4 Access Point maintained by the European Commission. 

If this is your first contact with the eDelivery SMP, it is highly recommended to check the [SMP Software](https://ec.europa.eu/digital-building-blocks/wikis/display/DIGITAL/SMP+software) page.
