UDDI
UDDI is an
acronym for Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration – A platform-independent,
XML-based registry for businesses worldwide to list themselves on the
Internet. UDDI is an open industry initiative (sponsored by
OASIS) enabling businesses to discover each other and define how they interact over the Internet. A UDDI business registration consists of three components:
- White Pages - address, contact, and known identifiers;
- Yellow Pages - industrial categorizations based on standard taxonomies; and
- Green Pages - technical information about services exposed by the business
UDDI is a one of the core Web Services standards. It is designed to be interrogated by
SOAP messages and to provide access to
WSDL documents describing the protocol bindings and message formats required to interact with the web services listed in its directory.
