UDDI Technical White Paper

Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) is a specification for distributed Web-based information registries of Web services. UDDI is also a publicly accessible set of implementations of the specification that allow businesses to register information about the Web services they offer so that other businesses can find them. Web services are the next step in the evolution of the World Wide Web (WWW) and allow programmable elements to be placed on Web sites where others can access distributed behaviors. UDDI registries are used to promote and discover these distributed Web services. This paper describes the capabilities that these registries add to the World Wide Web. [via]
