<b>Administrator</b> An individual who can query, publish,
|
|
coordinate, and administer
|
|
UDDI Services. In addition to Coordinator user rights for
|
|
the Web-based user interface, an Administrator can administer service options,
|
|
manage security settings, perform backups, and carry out other administrative
|
|
tasks at the system level by using the
|
|
UDDI Services
|
|
Web user interface, Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in and command line
|
|
tools. By default, the Administrator group uses the local computer group
|
|
BUILTIN\Administrators.

<b>Binding</b> The point where a specific implementation of a
|
|
service can be accessed, such as the URL where an interface can be found.
|
|
Bindings may also include one or more <i>instance info</i> structures.

<b>Categorization Scheme</b> A collection of categories and
|
|
subcategories used to describe and locate providers, services, and tModels. A
|
|
categorization scheme may contain public classifications, such as the North
|
|
American Industry Classification System (NAICS). It may also contain
|
|
company-defined categorizations. For example, useful categorization schemes
|
|
might be constructed around geographical locations, industry segments, or a
|
|
company's organizational structure. Categorization provides a consistent means
|
|
by which users can search for providers and services or locate interfaces of a
|
|
particular type, location, or other attribute.

<img src="images\contact.gif" height="16" width="16" alt="contact" border="0">
|
|
<b>Contact</b> A human or computer resource that can be
|
|
contacted for information about a provider or the XML Web services it offers. A
|
|
provider may have as many contacts as is necessary to identify each of its
|
|
available contact points.
|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>Coordinator</b> An individual who can query, publish, and
|
|
configure data in the
|
|
UDDI Services
|
|
Web-based user interface. In addition to Publisher user rights, a Coordinator
|
|
can view and modify any data stored in
|
|
UDDI Services, change entity ownerships, import
|
|
categorization schemes, and generate and view statistical reports. By default,
|
|
the Coordinator group uses the local computer group
|
|
BUILTIN\Administrators.

|
|
<b>Discovery URL</b> An HTTP-accessible resource that typically
|
|
responds to an HTTP-GET request with technical information describing a
|
|
provider. When a provider is created,
|
|
UDDI Services
|
|
automatically creates a discovery URL pointing to that provider's
|
|
businessEntity within that installation of
|
|
UDDI Services.

<li>
|
|
<b>Identifier</b> An organization-wide identification scheme
|
|
used to logically group providers and tModels by a common form of
|
|
identification, such as a cost code or D-U-N-S® Number. Identifiers are
|
|
optional descriptions and are intended to enhance the discovery of providers
|
|
and tModels in search operations.
|

<li>
|
|
<img src="images\instance.gif" height="16" width="16" alt="instance info" border="0">
|
|
<b>Instance Info</b> A reference to a tModel that contains
|
|
relevant technical information about a binding, such as an interface
|
|
specification document or Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file.
|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>Instance Parameters</b> The settings or parameters that are
|
|
supported by an instance of a binding. An instance parameter may be either a
|
|
list of settings and parameters or the URL of a file that contains a list of
|
|
supported settings and parameters.
|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>Interface</b> The address or location where a service or
|
|
application can be invoked. For example, a weather report Web service might
|
|
publish a single interface: http://www.mycompany.com/weather.asmx

|
|
<b>Overview Document URL</b> An address of an Hypertext Transfer
|
|
Protocol (HTTP)-accessible resource that hosts data or information you would
|
|
like to associate with an entity. For example, a tModel overview document might
|
|
provide the URL to an interface definition or Web Service Description Language
|
|
(WSDL) file that provides technical information that is required to invoke a
|
|
service through an interface. For an instance info, an overview document might
|
|
provide additional technical information that is only applicable to a specific
|
|
implementation of an interface.

<b>Provider</b> A party—any business, or physical or conceptual
|
|
group—that offers one or more XML Web services. For example, a business,
|
|
business unit, organization, organizational department, person, computer, or an
|
|
application can be a provider in
|
|
UDDI Services. In the UDDI Services data
|
|
structure, a provider represents the "parent" entity under which all contact,
|
|
service, and interface information is stored and organized.
|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>Publisher</b> An individual who can query and publish in UDDI
|
|
Services. A Publisher can add entities to
|
|
UDDI Services
|
|
or modify any of the entities that they own. By default, the Publisher
|
|
group uses the local computer group BUILTIN\Administrators.

<b>Service</b> An entity in

UDDI Services

other

UDDI Services
|
|
users. Services can perform any function across a network, from simple requests
|
|
to complicated business processes. A stock ticker feed and an online

|
procurement system are each examples of functions that can be published as a
|
|
service. Services may have one or more <i>bindings</i>.

<b>SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)</b> A World Wide Web
|
|
Consortium (W3C) standard, lightweight protocol for exchange of information in
|
|
a decentralized, distributed environment. SOAP is an Extensible Markup Language
|
|
(XML)-based protocol that consists of three parts: an envelope that defines a
|
|
framework for describing what is in a message and how to process it; a set of
|
|
encoding rules for expressing instances of application-defined data types; and
|
|
a convention for representing remote procedure calls and responses.

<b>tModel</b> tModels are typically used to provide technical
|
|
information about an interface, such as a Web Service Description Language
|
|
(WSDL) file, that describes the conventions that are supported by an interface.
|
|
tModels are also used to represent an organized unit of descriptive data, such
|
|
as an identification or categorization scheme. How tModels are used in your
|
|
implementation may vary, depending upon your organization's Web services
|
|
publishing data model.
