Re: UDDI

Gordon,

There is clearly overlap between UDDI and the ebXML registry and between
UDDI and ebXML partner profiles.  From what I have seen (only a glance, so
far) there is no mention of TPA in the UDDI materials that were released
today.  If you found something specifically about TPA, please let me know
where to look (document and page or subhead).

The TP team is continuing to move forward according to our original plan.

Bob Sutor briefed the steering committee on UDDI today. Any more detailed
responses to questions about UDDI have to come from either Bob Sutor (with
his IBM hat on) or ebXML management. I have copied Bob Sutor on this reply
in case he wants to make a further response to your query.

Regards,
Marty

Marty,

Have you had a chance to look into UDDI (a joint initiative of Ariba, MS
and IBM--papers and specs can be found at www.uddi.org)?

At first glance it appears that there is substantial overlap between
UDDI and both Reg/Rep and TPA. How do you see UDDI relating to the
ebXML/TPA work moving forward?

Thanks,
