Title: Message
Most of my critique of Farrukh's FAQ statement is grammatical.
My comments/changes are in red. I would have used "strikeout" but my Outlook program has disabled it for some reason. Hence, I've included Farrukh's original beneath mine for reference. Thanks for putting up with a lurker's comments.

<Nicholas> The ebXML Registry is a constituent of the Electronic Business using XML (ebXML) standard, which develops standards and protocols to support business-to-business (B2B) operations. The ebXML Registry TC has defined a general purpose registry specification*, known as ebXML Reg/Rep, for publishing and discovering shareable** content and metadata***. The ebXML Reg/Rep is both a registry and a repository.
UDDI, managed by the UDDI Spec TC, is focused as a registry service for Web services and its artifacts. [I don't believe it's wise for Reg/Rep to attempt a definition of UDDI in this particular space....leave that for the ebXML FAQ. I'd strike this entire sentence.] UDDI and ebXML Registries may be used both within the organization and across organizations.
*"service" is a loaded word these days. **"arbitrary" connotes whimsical or meaningless; I don't think it's in our interest to state that we deal with "arbitrary" information. However, I do believe one of the most pertinent aspects of the ebXML Registry is that it shares information, and you don't mention that here. ***Is there a requirement somewhere that metadata registered in an ebXML registry be "standardized"? I don't believe so, except to the extent that it be useful to at least two parties, and they agree on both the semantic meaning and structural integrity of such metadata. However, I couldn't think of a modifier that encapsulated that idea. </Nicholas> <Farrukh> ebXML Registry is a constituant part of the Electronic Business using XML (ebXML) standard, which develops standards and protocols to support business-to-business (B2B) operations.

Farrukh,
Your characterization of UDDI is inaccurate. UDDI is a general-purpose registry. (We have a technical note that explains how to use UDDI as a registry for ebXML services.) It can also be used to register Web sites, Non-Web applications, schemas, namespaces, software assets, non-electronic services, etc. I know a number of users that use UDDI as a software asset management system.
Obviously there is a tremendous amount of overlap between the capabilities of the two registries. The one significant difference between the two is that RegRep is both a registry and a repository, and UDDI is only a registry.

Team,
The UDDI TC has the following question in their FAQ:
8. How does UDDI compare with the work of the OASIS ebXML Registry TC?
I was helping Luc scrub the answer to the question. With Luc's permission I post the latest answer below. The description below seems reasonable to me. Does any one have any comments?
My thanks to Luc for his responsiveness on this subject.
BTW maybe we should consider having the exact same question and answer in our FAQ (with Luc's permission)?
