7.3.3. UDDI

The UDDI standard [6] by the UDDI Consortium defines a web service capable of registering and locating other web services. UDDI relies on the industry classification standards, such as NAICS or UNSPSC, to provide a hierarchy to sort the services by. For each service, UDDI records its position in the hierarchy together with an information about its provider and its WSDL description.
