Hi Thomas,

yes, I know Apache Lucene, an Information Retrieval API. I just wanted to know if this kind of retrieval is offered by UDDI, and implemented in jUDDI.

Best Regards,

Pedro

Have you taken a look at Apache Lucene?

 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
