• Key Concepts: 
  Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) is a platform-independent, open standard for describing, discovering, and integrating web services. It is a distributed directory service that enables businesses to publish information about their services and applications, and to discover and integrate with other services. UDDI is an important part of the SAP Composite Application Framework (CAF). 
  
  How to use it: 
  UDDI can be used to register web services in a directory, allowing them to be discovered by other applications. It also provides a way for applications to communicate with each other by providing a common language for describing services. UDDI is used in the CAF to enable applications to discover and integrate with each other. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using UDDI in the CAF, it is important to ensure that the information published in the directory is accurate and up-to-date. This will ensure that applications can discover and integrate with each other correctly.
