ISO/IEC 40280:2011定义了两种通用机制，用于将ISO/IEC 40270中定义的政策与其适用的主题相关联。它还定义了如何使用这些通用机制将策略与Web服务描述语言（WSDL）和通用描述、发现和集成（UDDI）描述相关联。

ISO/IEC 40280:2011 defines two general-purpose mechanisms for associating policies, as defined in ISO/IEC 40270, with the subjects to which they apply. It also defines how these general-purpose mechanisms can be used to associate policies with Web Services Description Language (WSDL) and Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) descriptions.
