IBM alphaWorks Releases UDDI Registry Extensions.
An IBM alphaWorks team has released extensions that enhance the IBM
WebSphere UDDI Registry (v 1.1.1) with advanced search capabilities.

STARLab Object Role Modeling Markup Language (ORM-ML) Represents ORM
Models in XML.
A research team at STARLab (Vrije Universiteit Brussel) has developed
an Object Role Modeling markup language (ORM-ML) for representing ORM
models in XML based syntax. Stylesheets convert this ORM-ML syntax
into other syntaxes for processing by business rule engines. A
verbalization style sheet for ORM-ML documents supports the expression
of facts and the rules in pseudo natural language sentences for
validation by domain specialists.
