At this point, I believe the majority of the SOA community has already added UDDI to the list of "irrelevant" Web Services specifications. Although we can attribute different causes to the failure of UDDI, all of them have their roots on the limitations of the UDDI data model. Attempting to model the highly diverse characteristics of SOA environments with standards like UDDI is proven to be a great recipe for failure.
