Discovery of Web Services in a Federated Registry Environment

The potential of a large scale growth of private and semiprivate registries is creating the need for an infrastructure which can support discovery and publication over a group of autonomous registries. Recent versions of UDDI have made changes to accommodate interactions between distributed registries. In this paper, we discuss METEOR-S Web Service Discovery Infrastructure, which provides an ontology based infrastructure to provide access to registries divided based on business domains and grouped into federations. We also discuss how Web service discovery is carried out within a federation.
