Abstract
Databases may include records that: associate service providers with location indicators and with service types. A proximity rule may be associated with one of the service types. A discovery request may include location metadata and a service identifier associated with the service type associated with the proximity rule. In response to receiving the discovery request, the proximity rule may be applied to the location metadata and the location indicators to identify a service provider that satisfies the proximity rule and that provides the service indicated by the service identifier. A discovery response that is responsive to the discovery request and that indicates the service provider may be sent in response to the discovery request.
