message exchange pattern. A Message Exchanage Pattern (MEP) is a template, devoid of application semantics, that describes a generic pattern for the exchange of messages between agents. It describes the relationships (e.g., temporal, causal, sequential, etc.) of multiple messages exchanged in conformance with the pattern, as well as the normal and abnormal termination of any message exchange conforming to the pattern. See SOAP message exchange pattern (MEP).

An abstract presentation of how the SOAP framework specification can be extended to meet some specific communication needs.

Maintenance Enforcement Program. A provincial government department that is authorized to collect child and spousal support on behalf of the person entitled to receive the support. MEP may take steps such as garnishee (seizure) of bank accounts and pay cheques, seizure of assets, and suspension of driver's licences if support payments are not made voluntarily. MEP cannot reduce the amount of support payable, and MEP will not stop enforcing the Order unless instructed to do so either by the creditor or by the court. See definition of Stay of Enforcement.
