The aftereffects of E-commerce fanatics: the retreat of Public UDDI

According to foreign media reports, the Network Service Catalog UDDI program pushed by large companies such as Microsoft and IBM has not yet improved. Vendors must not only overcome technical barriers, but also face the market turning problem. <Br/> this catalog plan is known as the "Yellow Pages" of e-commerce applications and services. It was born in the heyday of B2B e-commerce, this plan is based on a set of network service specifications called UDDI. It is mainly used to identify and establish a directory of network services to facilitate direct query on the Internet. <Br/> at present, a few large companies have begun to use this specification to build a directory of internal network service plans, so that cross-Department communication and services can be easier, however, the vision of UDDI, originally intended to build a larger public network service catalog (called UDDI Business Registry), remains at its dream stage. <Br/> Gartner analyst Daryl plummber said: "public directory databases have come too early, because other cooperation components, such as service quality assurance, have not been completed yet .". <Br/> UDDI is the four basic technologies used to form network services. The other three technologies include XML (Extended Markup Language), SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), and WSDL (Network Service Description Language ). As for the connections between them, we may wish to make a telephone analogy: In the world of network services, XML represents the language in which both parties talk, and soap is the rule for dialing, UDDI is the phone book, while WSDL regulates the nature of each call and how to participate. <Br/> the evolution of UDDI reflects the market development of network services to some extent. Many founding companies, such as Microsoft, hope that network services can be deployed on public networks, but they currently have the largest number of internal enterprise applications. The same is true for UDDI. Therefore, software vendors have begun to change yice to reflect such a substantial change. <Br/> some people in the industry think that this plan is out of the current market reality. For example, John Magee, vice president of Oracle marketing, said, "If you only have one person to call, why do you need a phone book ?" Oracle plans to incorporate UDDI into server software for internal use by enterprises. <Br/> although the public UDDI directory is still waiting for a more mature network service market, the private UDDI directory has gradually become a trend. Private directories provide a unified list of network services for enterprises to contact customers, suppliers and partners. Setting the UDDI directory inside the company can also be used as a central kitchen-type Network Service database,Program Designers can directly modify the current service for new purposes. <Br/> large companies such as Microsoft, sun, Oracle, and IBM have also seen this trend. Currently, they have begun to add private UDDI directories to their software products. Microsoft plans to use UDDI as one of the standard components of the new server operating system windows.
