Abstract
If you are looking for a specific product or service for which you do not
know a supplier, you will probably use the Yellow Pages. Hopefully, there
will be entries providing you with a telephone number for businesses from
the industry that are located in the geographical area that you are interested
in. Through its global reach and wealth of information, the capabilities
of the Internet are much broader. However, the Internet does not offer
standardized Yellow Pages that you can use to find businesses easily. The
UDDI initiative with its broad industry support provides an answer to this
problem. UDDI offers a standardized way for the description and discovery
of businesses and their services. This is not limited only to contact information
but extended to so-called ‘Green Pages’ that provide information about
web services a business offers. When extending the service descriptions
with XML-based specifications, UDDI is also able to simplify the actual
integration of business services using the Internet.
