UDDI

UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration) is an XML-based standard for describing, publishing, and finding web services, serving as a distributed registry that supports various communication protocols. It includes a registry of web service metadata and WSDL definitions, and has evolved since its inception in 2000 with contributions from major companies. Additionally, UDDI allows for both public and private registries, enabling businesses to share and advertise services effectively.

UDDI is an XML-based standard for describing, publishing, and finding web

services.

 UDDI stands for Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration.

 UDDI is a specification for a distributed registry of web services.

 UDDI is a platform-independent, open framework.

 UDDI can communicate via SOAP, CORBA, Java RMI Protocol.

 UDDI uses Web Service Definition Language(WSDL) to describe interfaces to web


services.

 UDDI is seen with SOAP and WSDL as one of the three foundation standards of
web services.

 UDDI is an open industry initiative, enabling businesses to discover each other


and define how they interact over the Internet.

UDDI has two sections:

 A registry of all web service's metadata, including a pointer to the WSDL


description of a service.

 A set of WSDL port type definitions for manipulating and searching that registry.

History of UDDI
 UDDI 1.0 was originally announced by Microsoft, IBM, and Ariba in September
2000.

 Since the initial announcement, the UDDI initiative has grown to include more
than 300 companies including Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Hitachi, IBM, Intel, Microsoft,
Oracle, SAP, and Sun.

 In May 2001, Microsoft and IBM launched the first UDDI operator sites and turned
the UDDI registry live.

 In June 2001, UDDI announced Version 2.0.


 As the time of writing this tutorial, Microsoft and IBM sites had implemented the
1.0 specification and were planning 2.0 support in the near future.

 Currently UDDI is sponsored by OASIS.

Partner Interface Processes


Partner Interface Processes (PIPs) are XML based interfaces that enable two
trading partners to exchange data. Dozens of PIPs already exist. Some of
them are listed here:

 PIP2A2 : Enables a partner to query another for product information.

 PIP3A2 : Enables a partner to query the price and availability of specific


products.

 PIP3A4 : Enables a partner to submit an electronic purchase order and receive


acknowledgment of the order.

 PIP3A3 : Enables a partner to transfer the contents of an electronic shopping


cart.

 PIP3B4 : Enables a partner to query the status of a specific shipment.

Private UDDI Registries


As an alternative to using the public federated network of UDDI registries
available on the Internet, companies or industry groups may choose to
implement their own private UDDI registries.

These exclusive services are designed for the sole purpose of allowing
members of the company or of the industry group to share and advertise
services amongst themselves.

Regardless of whether the UDDI registry is a part of the global federated


network or a privately owned and operated registry, the one thing that ties
them all together is a common web services API for publishing and locating
businesses and services advertised within the UDDI registry.

he UDDI technical architecture consists of three parts:


UDDI Data Model
UDDI Data Model is an XML Schema for describing businesses and web
services. The data model is described in detail in the "UDDI Data Model"
chapter.

UDDI API Specification


It is a specification of API for searching and publishing UDDI data.

UDDI Cloud Services


These are operator sites that provide implementations of the UDDI
specification and synchronize all data on a scheduled basis.

The UDDI Business Registry (UBR), also known as the Public Cloud, is a
conceptually single system built from multiple nodes having their data
synchronized through replication.

The current cloud services provide a logically centralized, but physically


distributed, directory. It means the data submitted to one root node will
automatically be replicated across all the other root nodes. Currently, data
replication occurs every 24 hours.

UDDI cloud services are currently provided by Microsoft and IBM. Ariba had
originally planned to offer an operator as well, but has since backed away
from the commitment. Additional operators from other companies, including
Hewlett-Packard, are planned for the near future.

It is also possible to set up private UDDI registries. For example, a large


company may set up its own private UDDI registry for registering all internal
web services. As these registries are not automatically synchronized with
the root UDDI nodes, they are not considered as a part of the UDDI cloud.
