Abstract: A system and method are described for Universal Description Discovery and Integration (UDDI) data migration exporting existing UDDI V3 data from a UDDI V3 compliant repository (a source repository) and importing this data into another UDDI V3 compliant repository (a destination repository). The data from the source repository is migrated into the destination repository and remains in the custody of the destination repository. The method preserves the user name and entity key associated with the data during the process. If that is not possible, the method generates new user names and/or entity keys and creates a mapping between the original and the generated user names and/or keys in order to dispatch the requests properly during runtime. Source repository is required to support the mandatory UDDI v3 APIs and may need to support the optional Security API Set. Destination repository is required to support the mandatory UDDI v3 API and the optional Security API Set.

Abstract: A method and system to provide subjective evaluations for artifacts in a Universal Description Discovery and Integration (UDDI) registry (version 3 or later). An extension to a UDDI registry receives a request from a client to add a subjective evaluation to an artifact in the UDDI registry, the request including a key identifying the artifact and an evaluation value to be associated with the artifact. The extension stores an evaluation, including the artifact identifying key and the associated evaluation value. The extension receives a request from a client to find a specific type of artifact in the UDDI registry, the request including an evaluation qualifier. The extension receives from the registry a list of keys identifying artifacts responsive to the request. The extension then provides the client with a list of stored evaluation values associated with the artifact keys in the artifact list.
