# Metadata Specifications

The W3C WSDL 1.1 and WS-Policy specifications are supported by the Gateway. Currently the only setting the Gateway publishes in WS-Policy is 'Message-Age' which specifies that the messages received from client are no older than 300 seconds (5 minutes).

- Web Services Description Language (WSDL) 1.1 (W3C) - defines an XML-based grammar for describing network services as a set of endpoints that accept messages containing either document-oriented or procedure-oriented information.

- Web Services Policy Framework: WS-Policy (2003/05) - a base set of constructs that can be used, and extended, by other Web services specifications to describe a broad range of service requirements, preferences, and capabilities.
