UDDI is an acronym for Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration – A platform-independent, XML-based registry for businesses worldwide to list themselves on the Internet. UDDI is an open industry initiative (sponsored by OASIS) enabling businesses to discover each other and define how they interact over the Internet. A UDDI business registration consists of three components: Acronyms and initialisms are abbreviations formed from the initial letter or letters of words, such as NATO and XHTML, and are pronounced in a way that is distinct from the full pronunciation of what the letters stand for. ...

UDDI is nominally one of the core Web Services standards. It is designed to be interrogated by SOAP messages and to provide access to WSDL documents describing the protocol bindings and message formats required to interact with the web services listed in its directory. According to the W3C a Web service is a software system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over a network. ...

UDDI was written in 1999/2000, at a time when the authors had a vision of a world in which consumers of Web Services would be linked up with providers through a dynamic brokerage system. In this vision, anyone needing a service such as credit card authentication, would go to their broker and select one supporting the desired SOAP service interface and meeting other criteria. In such a world, the broker would be critical for everyone. For the consumer, trusted brokers would only return reliable/trusted services, while for a service producer, getting a good placement in the brokerage would be critical for effective placement.
This vision has not come to pass. Instead, services write custom service endpoints with custom WSDL descriptions. Consumers then hard-code the URLs to their SOAP endpoints, working only with specific systems. Fault tolerance is only achieved through DNS and router tricks, not through dynamic selection of available service endpoints through the brokerage. The Domain Name System or DNS is a system that stores information about host names and domain names in a kind of distributed database on networks, such as the Internet. ...
The most common place that a UDDI system can be found is inside a company where it is used to dynamically bind client systems to implementations. Much of the search metadata permitted in UDDI is not used for this relatively simple role. UDDI can probably be cited as an example of over-prescriptive design, in which a naming system was built around an entirely unproven business model —the service broker.
