Maporama, a provider of online location-centric applications, announces today it has joined the Universal Description, Discovery and Integration project (UDDI) - an industry initiative working to enable businesses to quickly, easily and dynamically find and transact with one another using preferred applications.
The Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) project is a sweeping industry initiative. The project creates a platform-independent, open framework for describing services, discovering businesses and integrating business services using the Internet, as well as an operational registry that is available today.
Maporama's participation in the UDDI project means the company's online location-centric products now become available as one of the first high-value applications via the industry-wide open-initiative for web services. Companies across the whole world will benefit as a result through instant access to the market¹s most advanced location-centric solutions.
As an active member of the UDDI project, Maporama will participate in the defining of the future UDDI standard allowing any enterprise to describe its business, find other companies that offer desired products or services, and integrate with them.
UDDI is the first truly cross-industry effort driven by all major platform and software providers, as well as marketplace operators and e-business leaders. These technology and business pioneers are acting as the initial catalysts to quickly develop UDDI and related technologies.
The UDDI specification takes advantage of World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standards such as Extensible Markup Language (XML), HTTP, and Domain Name System (DNS) protocols. Additionally, the UDDI specification addresses cross platform programming features by adopting the proposed Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) messaging specifications found at the W3C website.
