UDDI Extensions for Temporally Customized Web Services

摘要

Web services are meaningful only if potential users may find and execute them. Universal Description Discovery and Integration (UDDI) help businesses, organizations, and other Web Services providers to discover and reach to the service(s) by providing the URI of the WSDL file. Changes in the Web Services desired over time results in new versions of the services. Further, the services need to be customized for different set of users. By using temporally customized Web Services it is possible to maintain the customizations of different versions of the artifacts such as interface/port-type/operation of the service under single URI. In this paper, we present UDDI extensions that allow users to find and execute desired version of the artifacts of temporally customized Web Services which are based on WSDL-TC.
