+<title>Relationship between UDDI and WSIL</title>
+<shortdesc>The Web Services Inspection Language (WSIL) and the Universal Description,
+Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) specification both address issues related
+to Web service discovery.&nbsp; However, each specification takes a different
+approach to the discovery of Web services.&nbsp; The two specifications can
+be used separately or jointly; searching with WSIL can result in finding items
+in UDDI.</shortdesc>
+<conbody>
+<p>The UDDI specification addresses Web service discovery through the use
+of a centralized model.&nbsp; One or more repositories are created to house
+information about businesses and the services they offer.&nbsp; Requests and
+updates pertaining to the service and business related information are issued
+directly against the repositories.&nbsp; In addition, UDDI prescribes a specific
+format for a portion of the stored description information and, to facilitate
+advanced (focused) searching, assumes that other description information will
+be stored and registered within the system as well.</p>
+<p>UDDI systems facilitate focused discovery patterns since these systems
+are based on organized repositories that provide advanced searching capabilities.&nbsp;
+This helps requestors locate potential communication partners.&nbsp; In order
+to provide advanced functionality, however, UDDI requires the deployment and
+maintenance of a certain amount of infrastructure, thus increasing the cost
+of operation.&nbsp; In addition, unless the service descriptions are stored
+only within UDDI, there is a cost associated with keeping the different versions
+synchronized.</p>
+<p>The WSIL specification relies on a completely distributed model for providing
+service-related information.&nbsp; The service descriptions can be stored
+at any location, and requests to retrieve the information are generally made
+directly to the entities that are offering the services.&nbsp; The WSIL specification
+does not stipulate any particular format for the service information.&nbsp;
+It relies on other standards, including UDDI, to define the description formats.&nbsp;
+The WSIL specification also relies on existing Web technologies and infrastructure
+to provide mechanisms for publishing and retrieving its documents.</p>
+<p>WSIL provides the ability to disseminate service-related information through
+existing protocols directly from the point at which the service is being offered.&nbsp;
+This enables focused discovery to be performed on a single target; however,
+because of its decentralized and distributed model, WSIL is not a good mechanism
+for executing focused discovery if the communication partner is unknown.</p>
+<p>The UDDI and WSIL specifications should be viewed as complementary technologies
+to be used either together or separately depending on the situation.&nbsp;
+For example, a UDDI repository could be populated based on the results found
+when performing a search for WSIL documents.&nbsp; Likewise, a UDDI repository
+may itself be discovered when a requester retrieves a WSIL document that references
+an entry in the repository.&nbsp; In environments where the advanced functionality
+afforded by UDDI is not required and where constraints do not allow for its
+deployment, the WSIL mechanism may provide all of the capabilities that are
+needed.&nbsp; In situations where data needs to be centrally managed, a UDDI
+solution alone may provide the best fit.&nbsp; The UDDI and WSIL specifications
+should not be viewed as mutually exclusive.</p>
+<note>Both UDDI and WSIL contain only references to WSDL - they do not contain
+the WSDL documents themselves.</note>
