Installing a UDDI server in Windows Server 2003 and its use

1. What is UDDI Services

Universal Description Discovery and Integration (UDDI) is an industrial specification for publishing and locating information about WEB services. The Windows Server 2003 family product contains UDDI Services, an optional component that provides UDDI functionality to be used within an enterprise or between business partners. UDDI services are standards-based XML Web services that enable enterprise developers to effectively publish, discover, share, and reuse Web services directly through their development tools and business applications.

Based on the Microsoft. NET Framework, UDDI Services is a reliable and scalable solution that can be easily integrated with enterprise technology and tools. Information Technology (IT) managers can take advantage of the standard classification scheme, local support for Microsoft SQL Server and Active Directory authentication. As a service compatible with the UDDI 1.0 and 2.0 API, UDDI Services also includes a WEB interface that has been translated into all languages supported by the Windows Server 2003 family.
