WSDL UDDI



UDDI is a directory service that enterprises can use to register and search Web services.
UDDI, English is "Universal Description, Discovery and Integration", which can be translated as "Universal Description, Discovery and Integration Services".


What is UDDI?

UDDI is a platform-independent framework for describing services, discovering enterprises, and integrating enterprise services using the Internet.

  • UDDI stands for Universal Description, Discovery and Integration Service

  • UDDI is a directory used to store information about web services.

  • UDDI is a directory of web services interfaces described by WSDL.

  • UDDI communicates via SOAP

  • UDDI is built into the Microsoft .NET platform


What is UDDI based on?

UDDI uses Internet standards from W3C and IETF*, such as XML, HTTP, and DNS protocols.

UDDI uses WSDL to describe the interface to web services

In addition, by using SOAP, cross-platform programming features can also be achieved. As we all know, SOAP is an XML protocol communication specification, which can be used in Find relevant information on the W3C website.

*Note: IETF - Internet Engineering Task Force


Benefits of UDDI

Industries or businesses of any size can benefit from UDDI.

Prior to UDDI, there was no Internet standard for businesses to provide information about their products and services to their businesses and partners. There is also no way to integrate into each other's systems and processes.

Problems that the UDDI specification helps us solve:

  • Make it possible to discover the right business among the millions of businesses currently online

  • Define how to launch a business once a preferred business is discovered

  • Expand to new customers and increase access to current customers

  • Expand Sales and market extension

  • Meet user-driven needs and clear obstacles for the promotion of rapid cooperation in the global Internet economy


## How #UDDI is used

If the industry publishes a UDDI standard for flight ratio detection and booking, airlines can register their services in a UDDI directory. The travel agent can then search this UDDI directory to find the airline booking interface. Once this interface is found, the travel agency can immediately communicate with the service because it uses a well-defined booking interface.
