It helps a little bit, thank you for your prompt response.
I am trying to rank the web services according to a query, like in
information retrieval. However, I guess that the queries are based on
key-words making a matching with the information provided in natural
language for each web service, or based on key IDs, getting directly the
structures which have that ID.
My real doubt is: suppose we have a weather web service, that has one
operation, and this operation receives as input a ZipCode, and as output
the Temperature from that place. I'd like to know if there is any way of
using a query to specify some sentence like that in UDDI (show me all
the services that have ZipCode as input, and Temperature as output) and
then rank the services according to the similarity to the specified query.
I hope my doubt was understandable.
Best Regards,
Pedro

Hi Pedro,
1. What is it you are trying to rank?
2. UDDI is like a yellow pages, meant for looking up WebServices and
for storing references to additional information
about them. Additional Info could be anything, for example WSDL,
Input/Output Documentation. But the key word in this sentence is
*reference*. A repository would store the Docs, a (UDDI) registry
points to it.
Does this help?

Hi jUDDI Folks,
I am working on Semantic Web Services, and I need a baseline to
compare my experiments. I've installed jUDDI, published some services
on it, read some stuff about UDDI, and I guess UDDI is not capable of
ranking web services from a query, and a query in UDDI is not capable
to specify details as web services inputs and outputs. I'd like to
know if it is really what happens or I am just saying nonsense.
Best Regards,
Pedro
