 <h1 class="topictitle1">Discovering Web Services</h1>
 <div><p>Web services can be located through a public business registry
 such as the IBM<sup>®</sup> UDDI
 Business Registry, a private business registry, or a WSIL document. UDDI manages
 the discovery of Web services by relying on a distributed registry of businesses
 and their service descriptions implemented in a common XML format.</p>
 <div class="p"><div class="p">Prerequisites:<ol><li><a href="treg.html">Register with a registry</a></li>

 </ol>
 </div>
 </div>
 <div class="section"><p>Web Services Inspection Language (WSIL) is a service discovery
 mechanism that is an alternative to UDDI as well as complementary to UDDI.
 WSIL allows you to go directly to the service provider and ask for the services
 it provides. For more information on the Web Services Inspection Language
 specification, refer to  <a href="http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-wsilspec.html" target="_blank"> www.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-wsilspec.html</a>.

 <p>You
 can discover a Web service in two ways using the Web Services Explorer:</p>
