Methods and systems for a meta federation broker extend requests for computing services across multiple different cloud computing environments using ontology models. The meta federation broker may receive, from a federation participant, a federation participant query that includes semantic query data. At least one federation service from a plurality of federation services can be determined, based on processing the federation participant query and ontological data defining a ontology model, each ontology model describing federation services based on relationships between components of a federated cloud computing environment. The meta federation broker can validate a federation cloud broker that provides the at least one federation service to the federation participant and facilitate brokering of the at least one federation service to the federation participant by the federation cloud broker.

Semantic meta federation broker for cloud environments

Techniques for providing a distributed standards registry are provided. A DSR system may include a plurality of distributed standards registry participants that are collectively configured to provide control logic for the distributed standards registry using a consensus voting mechanism to make control decisions. The DSR system includes include a distributed ontology model library maintained on the plurality of distributed standards registry participants and storing a plurality of ontology models, and a distributed federation broker registry maintained across the plurality of distributed standards registry participants. A first distributed standards registry participant of the plurality of distributed standards registry participants includes a discovery processor operable to receive and process federation participant queries and a registry processor operable to receive and process registration requests to register the federation broker as providing brokerage services related to a federation service described by one of the plurality of ontology models.
