Microsoft, IBM, SAP discontinue UDDI registry effort
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft, IBM, and SAP are discontinuing the UDDI Business Registry project for Web services on January 12, according to Web-based bulletins from the three companies.
UDDI prescribes a specification for setting up directories of Web services for both public and within-the-firewall usage.
Questions have long been raised about its success, and the move by the three vendors would at face value appear to bear out the negative reviews. But the shutdown is not being positioned this way.
