Subject: RE: IBM UDDI / ebXML / OASIS presentation given 2/14/01 in Vancou ver
The ebXML Registry is intended to be distributed, in fact, support a peer-to-peer (P2P) model in the next iteration. Replication is an antiquated concept except for service providers who need fail safe operations, and this represents a fundamental difference between the UDDI and ebXML architecture. ebXML Registry is focusing on a distributed model which the "owner" of the content can ultimately maintain its own information in its own registry and create associations (links) to external objects residing in other registries. Therefore in concept it is feasible for a given business to maintain its own profile (as part of its web site) that references its business processes, data formats exchanged within those business processes, communication protocols etc. These process definitions may be associated to standard business process patterns in another registry such as OASIS, X12, OMG, etc. The ebXML Registry pub/sub architecture will enable distributed queries.

I fully support the suggestion and I hope one approach will come out after the discussions. It is difficult to hop from one material to the other just to get a grasp of what they are all about. Also, is the registry centralized in the sense that those who want to do transactions over the net need to register somewhere? Can't a company just put up its company profile and business processes in its own web site. In this case, searching for trading partners may be assisted by search engines. I read in one of the materials that the registry is logically centralized but physically distributed however I am wondering about the reason why companies need to register somewhere...or do they? I might be missing something. Will someone please clarify or give pointers to other reading materials. Thank you very much in advance for the help.

Your recommendation to form a task force looking into aligning UDDI and ebXML registries is a very good one and should benefit the industry and customers. As an implementer of registry, I would like also to recommend that a task force be formed looking immediately into merging the ebXML Registry Information Model/Services specification with the OASIS Registry/Repository Technical Specification. This will additionally benefit the industry and customers.
