Installing UDDI Services

Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) is an industry specification for the description and discovery of Web services. The UDDI specification builds on the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), Extensible Markup Language (XML), and HTTP/S protocol standards developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). UDDI Services is an optional component of the Windows .NET Server family that provides UDDI capabilities within an enterprise.

UDDI Services is not installed by default during setup of a Windows .NET server operating system.
