What is UDDI?

What is UDDI?

Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) is an industry specification for publishing and locating information about Web services. It defines an information framework that enables you to describe and classify your organization, its services, and the technical details about the interfaces of the Web services you expose. The framework also enables you to consistently discover services, or interfaces of a particular type, classification, or function. UDDI also defines a set of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that can be used by applications and services to interact with UDDI data directly. For example, you can develop services that publish and update their UDDI data automatically, react dynamically to service availability, or automatically discover interface details for other services with which they interact.

The UDDI.org consortium of companies established the UDDI Business Registry (UBR) where companies and organizations can share and discover Web services. This public registry is maintained and replicated by its managing body, the UBR Operator Council, and should not be confused with UDDI Services, which is deployed and maintained by your enterprise or organization.
