UDDI
- UDDI is used to register and look up services with a central registry
- Service Providers advertise their business services
- Service consumers can look up UDDI-entries
- UDDI parts:
- White pages: Business information (Name, contact, description,...)
- Yellow pages: Service information
- Green pages: Technical information (Access point, WSDL reference)
- And today?
- Initial vision: “[…] help companies conduct business with each other in an automated fashion [...]” [sys-con.com]
- Reality today: Human element stays important -> UDDI not very widespread
