I am currently trying to get a grasp of UDDI and would like to run some examples with the inquiry API, but I can’t find public registries that I can query with my SOAP messages.

IBM, Microsoft and SAP used to host public UDDI servers a couple of years ago but that was discontinued.

I know xmethods contains a list of publicly available web services, but I would like to concentrate only on discovery of web services with UDDI (and not really call the services afterwards).

Does anyone know of any public UDDI registries available?

Even if there are public UDDI registries, the question is whether anyone looks in those registries when using a web service. I think that the answer is "no".
