Category (categoryValue) Properties

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

A UDDI Services categorization scheme is an XML document that contains two primary elements: a tModel that represents the categorization scheme and one or more associated categoryValues that represent the categories and subcategories of the scheme.

The following table provides a description of each item in the Category (categoryValue) Properties.
