Is there an alternative for UDDI?

Question

I know that UDDI gives the posibility of descovering a web service. Is there any alternative for UDDI that do the same thing : to discover web services?

Answer 1

UDDI is out of the scene these days. People are moving towards semantic web services. WSMO and OWL-s are major initiatives for semantic web services. These solutions can provide more precise results.

Answer 2

Here's a few

• mDNS/Bonjour/Avahi - can be used to share endpoint information for a web service, or anything else using a TXT record
• WS-Discovery - supported by CXF and WCF, shares implementation of a specific interface
• ebXML - had a component similar to UDDI
