All URIs are globally unique. UUIDs are not special in that way. When you go to Google and ask it for information about http://www.manes.net, there is no confusion about what resource it should give information to. I can take that same globally unique key to OpenText, AltaVista and NetNanny and get other useful information (useful to someone, anyhow). > So I do think that at some point (perhaps as early as V4) we > will devise a federated model, and you should to be able to perform a > GET on a uddi: scheme, without specifying the registry node, and > manage to retrieve the tModel. How do I know *which* federation to submit to? The One True federation? Who runs that, ICANN? Microsoft? The W3C? The IETF? UDDI needs decentralization! Paul Prescod
