The following is a guide for how OAGI recommends that the verbs be used with their 9.0 repository. The STAR 5 draft repository will follow these recommendations. These guidelines are recommend for use in other STAR versions as well, but the repository may not support all verb combinations.
These guidelines are recommended by OAGI and what they have found to be the best practices when implementing BODs in production.
