Web Standards-UDDI
UDDI (Universal Description Discovery and Intergration) Directory Ready To Debut
If you haven’t read about this new standard, you will. Although it’s slated (first deployment) to be used as a standard for a web based business directory, those of us in the info profession need to keep close track of it.
From the IT World article, “The Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) registry promises to make it easier for businesses to provide information about their products and services on the Web, as well as locate partners and customers. A number of registries that use differing protocols exist on the Web already, but Microsoft, IBM and Ariba said they want to promote a common, shared set of identifiers. Companies can submit information about their businesses to the registry free of charge, the vendors say.”
To learn more about UDDI, this “official page” is a good place to begin.
