UDDI Services

Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) is an industry specification for publishing and locating information about Web services. The Windows .NET Server family includes UDDI Services, an optional component that provides UDDI capabilities for use within an enterprise or between business partners. UDDI Services is a standards-based XML Web service that enables enterprise developers to efficiently publish, discover, share, and reuse Web Services directly through their development tools and business applications.

Built on the Microsoft .NET Framework, UDDI Services is a reliable and scalable solution that provides easy integration with enterprise technologies and tools. IT Managers can leverage native support for standard categorization schemes, Microsoft SQL Server, and Active Directory authentication. As a UDDI version 1.0 and 2.0 API-compliant service, UDDI Services also includes a Web interface fully localized to each of the 17 languages supported by the Windows .NET Server family.
