Nun ist es ofiziell - die UDDI Business Registry (UBR), der Verzeichnisdienst für Web Services der UDDI, deren Weiterentwicklung und Standardisierung unter dem Dach des Herstellerkonsortiums OASIS verläuft, wird am 12.01.2006 geschlossen. Die ofizielle Begründung erläutert: "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.". Obwohl IBM und Microsoft eigene Services schliessen, wird SAP den Service aufrechterhalten.
