| <h1 class="topictitle1">Managing publisher assertions</h1> |
| <div><p>A publisher assertion is a way in UDDI to associate businessEntity |
| structures. The publisher assertion defines a group of businessEntity |
| structures. Many businesses are not effectively represented by a single businessEntity. |
| A publisher assertion allows for associations to be formed between several |
| businessEntity structures. For example, a large company may have several subsidiaries |
| that have different descriptions but are still closely coupled and want to |
| make their relationships visible in UDDI registries.</p> |

| <li><a href="tstrtexp.html">Launch the Web Services Explorer</a></li> |
| <li><a href="taddreg.html">Add the registry to the Web Services Explorer</a></li> |
| </ol> |

| <div class="section"><p>For more information on publisher assertions, refer to the <a href="http://www.uddi.org/specification.html" target="_blank">UDDI Version |
| 2.0 Programmer's API Specification</a> and the <a href="http://www.uddi.org/specification.html" target="_blank">UDDI Version 2.0 Data Structure Specification</a>.</p> |
| <p>To |
| manage publisher assertions, do the following:</p> |
| </div> |
| <ol><li><span>In the Navigator pane, select the business entity for which you |
| want to manage referenced businesses.</span></li> |
| <li><span>In the Actions pane toolbar, click the <span class="uicontrol">Manage Publisher |
| Assertions</span> icon <img src="../images/busasst.gif" alt="Picture of the Manage Publisher Assertions icon." />.</span></li> |
| <li><span>On the Manage Publisher Assertions page you can add, remove, and |
| maintain relationships with other business entities.</span></li> |
| </ol> |
| <div class="section"><p> <span class="uicontrol">Important:</span> A business entity that is referenced |
| by another business entity must in turn reference that business entity in |
| order to make the publisher assertion public. A one-way reference is considered |
| an incomplete publisher assertion and is visible only to the owner of the |
| business entity.</p> |
