UDDI Defines an API for interacting with a centralized Web Service information repository. UDDI is used to register and look up services with a central registry Service Providers can publish information about their business and the services that they offer.

UDDI Analogous to a Telephone Directory: White Pages- Basic Business info Yellow Pages- categories based on standards Green Pages- Technical specifications and references

UDDI In order for someone to use your service they have to know about it : To allow users to discover a service it is published to a registry (UDDI). To allow users to interact with a service you must publish a description of it’s interface (methods & arguments). This is done using WSDL

UDDI VS DISCO DISCO makes it possible to discover Web Services on a given server It doesn't attempt to sort Web Service- related information across multiple servers UDDI is a repository where one can enquire or publish web services

UDDI VS DISCO -cntd UDDI has the advantage that one can publish new services even after he has shipped the product.
