Since a UDDI registry houses information about web services and their providers, it is essential that the information contained in a web service's WSDL document is accurately mapped to the UDDI data model. This means that subsequent search operations to discover a registered web service are possible, based on the information that is mapped from the WSDL.

How CentraSite performs WSDL-to-UDDI mappings is based on the recommendations that OASIS has published. The technical description of the OASIS recommendation for WSDL-to-UDDI mapping can be found on the OASIS website.
