Robert C. Richards · Apress eBooks · 2006
Armed with the knowledge of consuming and creating Web services, you set off to create the next killer application. No matter how great the application might be, the question becomes, how do you go about finding or advertising this Web service? Of course, getting it listed in the popular search engines is one of the first steps you should take, but wouldn’t it be great if you could easily discover and integrate with Web services without having to wade through all the nonrelevant information returned from search engines and then having to find documentation for a particular service? This is where Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) plays a role. This chapter will introduce many of the concepts behind UDDI and show how you can leverage UDDI registries by using PHP.
