RE: [uddi-promo-discuss] Promotion of UDDI
Me, 
either, but I have a few questions for the group, just as 
starters:

 

1.  I do intelligent agent architectures, and I was looking to UDDI 
and UDDI servers as a way to do agent-agent discovery and 'binding on the 
fly'.  Is this a good use of it?  Anyone else doing 
this?

2.  Any upcoming commercial UDDI servers (other than the msoft 
promise)?  Even beta versions would do:  pointers?

3.  Any ebXML reg/reps (registry/repositories) that are evolving to 
UDDI servers, that anyone knows about?

 

Thanks,

Bobbin

    [uddi-promo-discuss] Promotion of UDDI 

    
Greetings to the subscribers to our new discussion list. Let begin by 
    welcoming you to the list, and by providing some background. When UDDI.org 
    brought the early UDDI specifications to OASIS, we were looking for a 
    flexible way to manage the further development of the spec. The OASIS Member 
    Section structure was ideal, as it mapped very closely to the UDDI.org 
    management structure we had in place, and gave us great flexibility in terms 
    of managing as many different work efforts as we might need. The Member 
    Section Steering Committee is now proposing that we do more to leverage the 
    structure and to expand the family of those who have an interest in the 
    success of UDDI. The Spec TC has done a superb job in progressing the spec. 
    But, having a good spec isn't of much value if people don't know about it, 
    or know how to use the technology. To that end, we are hopeful that this 
    discussion list will allow us to zero in on at least one area of common 
    interest, where we can start up a TC to work on some aspect of promoting 
    UDDI. I gave some examples of areas we have discussed at the Steering 
    Committee in the discussion list description:

*  UDDI User 
    Experiences
*  UDDI Best Practices
*  UDDI User 
    Education
*  UDDI promotion / evangelism
*  Usage of UDDI as 
    a component of Web Services

Some of this is pretty easy - 
    pointers to exisiting customer references, or keeping current UDDI product 
    descriptions out on UDDI.org. But, we could also go for a TC specifically 
    focused on what users need. And, invite users to participate directly. We've 
    purposely left the scope very broad, to see where we might get common 
    interest. We'd be delighted to hear your thoughts, or answer any questions 
    you might have. Thanks much.
