""In order for Web services to proliferate, customers and solution providers should be looking at UDDI as a key component of that infrastructure. Sutor describes it as a catch-22. "You need to have a registry to get the growth of Web services, but you need a whole bunch of Web services to put in the registry to make it useful," Sutor says.
So, what will make UDDI useful? It's likely to proliferate within organizations for sharing business logic among applications. For example, Microsoft's Kurt says, if an enterprise wants to make a change-of-address service originally built for an HR application for other apps, a UDDI registry can help internal developers, or even end users, find the software components and business rules for using those programs.
