UDDI - What is it?

UDDI - Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration

If your company uses web services they most likely have a UDDI registry. The UDDI registry allows you to "discover" Web Services described using WSDL.

It was designed to provide Web Service and information search capabilities between companies. Some of the "discovery" aspects of UDDI have not been fully exploited between companies. However, the UDDI registry does allow internal users to stay up-to-date on what Web Services are deployed in their company.
