I personally do not >see a good business case for the "discovery" features >of UDDI and WSDL at where I belong. Mary: I recently attended JavaOne in Japan and this got me thinking... If you look at Bernard's dtds, they look as if they should be used for a topic map registry with published subjects for a "merge map" web service... or maybe I am thinking too far ahead in advance ;-) I could see a registration of templates or schemas for topic maps that could be used by companies who wished to merge information. The uddi would take care of the registration and secure identity of businesses that would use the maps. Of course, we would not need to have a web service and uddi to do this sort of thing; let's say we wanted to merge our maps. I could just as well send you a CD with my TM schema and my TM through the snail mail, you could then use the schema to create your TM, use the schema to migrate your database into the xml Map, and then use an application to merge the maps. In addition, we still need to address the "network binding points" idea that is discussed in Bernard's Paper, Binding Points for Subject Identity and what the requirements for this would be. This is where the web services idea may be applicable, too. Anyway, the message that I took home from the conference was, once we have identity (users/agents, services, packets over networks) anything is possible in the realm of Web Services.
