When working with genomic and related health datasets, discovering new web services to use for computational workflows can be a time-consuming process. Developed by the Discovery Work Stream, the Service Registry API organises multiple web services that have implemented a Service Info endpoint into groups. By providing a mechanism to catalogue available web services, the Service Registry API helps facilitate service discovery across organisational boundaries without imposing communication restrictions on those services.
