| <title>Managing publisher assertions</title> |
| <shortdesc>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.</shortdesc> |

| manage publisher assertions, do the following:</p></context> |
| <steps> |
| <step><cmd>In the Navigator pane, select the business entity for which you |
| want to manage referenced businesses.</cmd></step> |
| <step><cmd>In the Actions pane toolbar, click the <uicontrol>Manage Publisher |
| Assertions</uicontrol> icon <image alt="Picture of the Manage Publisher Assertions icon." |
| href="../images/busasst.gif"></image>.</cmd></step> |
| <step><cmd>On the Manage Publisher Assertions page you can add, remove, and |
| maintain relationships with other business entities.</cmd></step> |
| </steps> |
| <result><p> <uicontrol>Important:</uicontrol> 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></result> |
