Subject: RE: [ebxml-dev] Distributive Directories ?



reply:
Simple tModels have been drafted and are being designed within the
Cooperating Registries subteam within the ebXML RegRep TC at Oasis to do
exactly this.  I am leading this specific UDDI Cooperative Use Case effort.
Please join this subteam if you are interested.  I can assure you that it is
very easy to locate ebXML registries and services via UDDI.  More to come on
this soon.  Relevant material is in development and in subsequent review
cycles prior to posting.

UDDI Business Registry may be used as a sort of registry of registries.
Scott's calls for a Registry Summit on ebxml-dev@lists.ebxml.org produced no
result, so we do not have a more efficient mechanism for distributing
registries at this time.
