Reconsidering UDDI

Reconsidering UDDI

For the record: I was wrong when I said this here. When I started to look into and think about service oriented architectures*, I understood the relevance of UDDI.

To cite Don (more than half a year ago): "If WSDL and UDDI were both hanging from a cliff and I could only save one of them, it would be UDDI."  And in case someone didn't notice, yet, I really, really want WSDL to go very near that cliff.

[*this is the most current deck for the SOA talk I do on the Microsoft EMEA Architect's Tour 2003. Check out slide 20 for an illustration of how WS-Routing, WS-Addressing, WS-Policy, message contracts and UDDI fit into a single picture]
