Farrukh,
Your characterization of UDDI is inaccurate. UDDI is a general-purpose
registry. (We have a technical note that explains how to use UDDI as a
registry for ebXML services.) It can also be used to register Web sites,
Non-Web applications, schemas, namespaces, software assets, non-electronic
services, etc. I know a number of users that use UDDI as a software asset
management system.
Obviously there is a tremendous amount of overlap between the capabilities
of the two registries. The one significant difference between the two is
that RegRep is both a registry and a repository, and UDDI is only a registry.
