UDDI - Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration

UDDI is a specification for a service directory or registry. UDDI directories contain the descriptions of web services, including what a service is for, who created the service, and how to connect to a service.

UDDI automates the processes of finding service partners and working with partners over the Internet. A UDDI directory can be searched, and it provides most of the information necessary to locate a needed business service and to connect to that service.
