# Open Resource Discovery Specification

## Summary

Open Resource Discovery (ORD) is a protocol that **enables applications and services to self-describe their exposed resources and capabilities**. It supports both static documentation and runtime tenant-specific configuration and extensions.

**To learn more, have a look at the [Open Resource Discovery Specification](https://open-resource-discovery.org/) documentation.**

> ℹ ORD is an open standard by SAP, currently geared towards the SAP ecosystem.
> However, it is designed as a generic standard that can be used outside SAP with appropriate infrastructure (aggregators and namespace registry).
> The standard is extensible through extensibility attributes, custom types, and policy levels.

## Communication, Feedback & FAQ
