Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to a service registry and repository system, method and computer program product for accessing objects in an object repository. There is provided a method of managing an object database for objects that includes receiving an object query; querying the object database using the object query; receiving a hierarchical collection of objects including a root object; and returning only those objects that are within a specific depth of the root object and that do not represent user-defined relationships. The returning step maps the objects from a proprietary object format into a standard object format and optionally the standard object format is the Service Definition Object format (SDO).
