The ''vanilla'' XML SOAP+WSDL over HTTP web services implementation can be thought of as the core of an entire stack of protocols relating to web services.

Early visions for web services called for dynamic discovery of, and connection to, web services, details of which were to be located in a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UDDI UDDI] (Universal Description, Discovery and Integration - see also [http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=uddi-spec]) repository.  More recently (as of Nov 2007) however, UDDI has faded from view as it has become increasingly clear that it was somewhat ahead of its time. As the web services environment matures it may re-emerge, or some other discovery mechanism might be implemented to take its place. Currently most web service connections are statically bound, not dynamically discovered.
