Chapter 9. Registry Fundamentals
A registry has a variety of uses:
As electronic white, yellow, and green pages A registry provides a variety of information about an enterprise and the Web service that it makes available for B2B interactions. The information made available through a registry includes the name, business identifiers, contact information, industry codes, product classifications, and technical information about services.
As a database of static data A registry contains data and metadata. This includes information about specific business process standards in XML format, such as the RosettaNet PIP34A standard for purchase orders, and the XML schemas that define the structure of the XML documents that are exchanged between two enterprises in a B2B interaction.
As a bulletin board A registry can be used as a bulletin board. This implies that it can be used to publish and exchange dynamic information, such as event notifications, price updates, discount information, special offers, and so on.
