Thoughts and experiences from an enterprise software architect.
This is a personal weblog by Jorgen Thelin, a Senior Program Manager for Windows Live Identity Services at Microsoft in Redmond.
The opinions expressed here represent my own views and not those of my current, prior or future employer(s).
Just came across this article by Karsten Januszewski at Microsoft during a Google search :
Registering and Discovering RSS Feeds in UDDI
The use of Universal, Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) to catalog and discover RSS news feeds is a logical application of UDDI in its mission of description and discovery [...]
One refinement to the approach in this article was pointed out by Don Box:
One could argue that he really needs an N+1th tModel to represent the RSS-ness independent of version. This would allow clients that can consume all versions to find all feeds with a simple UDDI query.
Although I think the jury is still out on UDDI generally, this article does illustrate the point that UDDI is about much more than just Web Services.
I suspect that some of these ideas may be part of the reason Don Box, one of the main XML thinkers at Microsoft is on record as saying about UDDI:
If WSDL and UDDI were both hanging from a cliff and I could only save one of them, it would be UDDI.
