UDDI Clause Samples

UDDI. The need for a global registry for discovering and cataloguing web services brought Arriba, Microsoft and IBM together to work on a project called the Universal Description, Discovery and Integration [UDDI33]. UDDI is conceptually divided in three parts: first part stores the basic information about a service and the organization providing the service. The second part stores information using a taxonomy classifi- cation and the third part is used to store technical information about the service such as its location and binding. All the information of the UDDI can be searched and retrieved using a web service API. Both UDDI and ebXML are maintained by OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards). However, it was reported in a CLARIN web services workshop that both sug- gestions are not widely used in the research community.
