What is UDDI?

A web service directory service called UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration) enables companies to publish information about their web services and learn about the web services of other companies. It is built on the idea of a registry, a central database of web service descriptions that specifies how to describe, discover, and integrate web services.

UDDI provides a set of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) that allow businesses to register and search for web services. It is systemized into two main parts: the white pages and the yellow pages. The white pages contain information about the businesses that offer web services, such as their name, contact information, and the web services they offer. The yellow pages contain information about the specific web services each business provides, including the name of the service, its capabilities, and the location of the service.

UDDI is an essential component of the web services infrastructure, enabling businesses to discover and interact with web services in a standardized way. It is used by various industries, including finance, healthcare, and e-commerce, to facilitate the exchange of information and services between systems.

A standard for describing, publishing, and locating web services called UDDI is based on XML.

Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration are what UDDI stands for.

UDDI specifies a distributed register of web services.

A platform-neutral, open framework is UDDI.

UDDI supports SOAP, CORBA, and Java RMI Protocol for communication.

UDDI uses Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) to specify web service interfaces.

UDDI is one of the three foundational standards for web services, along with SOAP and WSDL.

An open industry project called UDDI enables companies to find one another and specify how they communicate online.
