[2.]  A clear English-language summary of the specification.

The Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) protocol is a key member of the group of interrelated standards that comprise the Web services stack.  It defines a standard method for publishing and discovering the network-based software components of a service-oriented architecture.

The UDDI Version 3.0.2 Specification describes the Web services, data structures and behaviors of all instances of a UDDI registry.

[3.]  A statement regarding the relationship of this specification to similar work of other OASIS TCs or other standards developing organizations. 

The UDDI v3 specification builds on top of the OASIS UDDI v2 Standard. This version of the specification has been designed to be used in combination with other complementary Web services specifications. UDDI Version 3.0 builds on the vision of UDDI: a "meta service" for locating web services by enabling robust queries against rich metadata. Expanding on the foundation of the OASIS UDDI v2 Standard, UDDI v3 offers the industry a specification for building flexible, interoperable XML Web services registries useful in private as well as public deployments.
