title: Is the public UDDI movement dead or, was it ever alive?
body: <p>I am trying to find some public UDDI registries to interact with, for learning purposes. But it seems there are none available. I popped the following <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1491926/are-there-any-public-uddi-registries-available">question</a> on SO to see if someone knows about any public registry still hosted, but got no answers.</p>
  
  <p>The IBM, Microsoft and SAP public registries were a test of the UDDI technology. I quote from <a href="http://uddi.microsoft.com/about/FAQshutdown.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>: <em>The primary goal of the UBR was to prove the interoperability and robustness of the UDDI specifications through a public implementation. This goal was met and far exceeded.</em></p>
  
  <p>They now continue to support the UDDI specifications in their products (so, different companies can host their UBRs for private use).</p>
  
  <p>Now, I am changing my original question to this: <strong>Is the public UDDI movement dead or, was it ever alive?</strong></p>
  
  <p>What do you think? If your answer is no, can you provide an example of an existing public UDDI UBR?</p>
