Open Resource Discovery (ORD)

Open Resource Discovery (ORD) is an open protocol used to declare and expose metadata about a system's APIs, events, and other resources in a machine-readable, standardized way. Developers use it to declare system APIs and events as dependencies for business scenarios, enabling automated discovery and integration across SAP and third-party systems. By providing clear, structured resource descriptions, ORD supports interoperability within landscapes such as SAP Business Technology Platform, where consistent metadata is essential for building and extending business applications.
