ISO/IEC 17963:2013 Web Services for Management (WS-Management) Specification

ISO/IEC 17963:2013 describes a Web services protocol based on SOAP for use in management‑specific domains. These domains include the management of entities such as PCs, servers, devices, Web services and other applications manageable entities. Services can expose only a WS-Management interface or compose the WS-Management service interface with some of the many other Web service specifications.
