I have used web services in .Net before with WCF.Though, I don't really understand the benefits of UDDI. There is a lot of theory but I didn't find anything practical. Do you know any tutorials on using UDDi in .NET?
UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration) is an XML-based registry for businesses worldwide to list themselves on the Internet. Its ultimate goal is to streamline online transactions by enabling companies to find one another on the Web and make their systems interoperable for e-commerce.
UDDI manages the discovery of Web services by relying on a distributed registry of businesses and their service descriptions implemented in a common XML format. Before you can publish your business entity and Web service to a public registry, you must first register your business entity with a UDDI registry.
Definition(s): An XML-based lookup service for locating Web services in an Internet Topology. UDDI provides a platform-independent way of describing and discovering Web services and Web service providers.
WSDL describes the data types and structures for Web services, and tells how to map them into the messages that are exchanged. UDDI provides a repository for Web-services descriptions. An UDDI registry can be searched on various criteria to find all kinds of services offered by businesses.
