Talk:Web Services Discovery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In addition to the clarification just made I'd suggest to note that pubic UDDI has not gained the importance anticipated for public services (e.g. indicate by the shutdown of major uddi repositories http://www.infoworld.com/article/05/12/16/HNuddishut_1.html).

Moreover a separation into public/private service discovery scenarios might be useful (since UDDI is still pushed by EAI vendors).

The extra section on federated discovery seems not to be well motivated. However more details on approaches discussed in academia might be useful such as semantic service discovery (e.g. sketeched here http://webservices.sys-con.com/read/39718.htm) or approaches where discovery is seen as a protocol such as ws-discovery (http://specs.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/04/discovery/ws-discovery.pdf), as well as pragmatic approaches of vertical search engines or portals that use standard IR techniques for Web Service Discovery
