Subject: RE: Representing Hierarchical Value Sets (for example for uddi:uddi.org:categorization:types)
Thanks for the response Sam. Some follow-up comments and questions.. In my original question, when I mentioned that I was unable to find any details in the spec. as to how the hierarchical value set is represented.. I meant to say I was unable to find the XML representation of the hierarchical value set. Also, since there are no APIs for users of the registry to retrieve the hierarchical value set (that a category scheme or identifier scheme is bound to have), any vendor who thinks it is important or necessary to expose this functionality for end users will have a custom implementation. In light of that, is there a preferred approach that the UDDI committee has recommended which might become part of a future specification?

In general, in UDDIv3, there are APIs (such as the get_allValidValues you mentioned) to allow a *registry* (rather than the users of the registry) to retrieve valid values of a value set from a value set provider. The API set was created to allow a registry implementation to cache the valid values for spell-check type of validation, rather than for end users to retrieve the values and the structure (such as hierarchy) of a value set. - sam Pranav Parekh wrote: > Folks, > > For UDDI Version 3, the UDDI specs. provides the hierarchical value set > for the uddi:uddi.org:categorization:types TModel.
