Finding Organizations by Classification

To find organizations by classification, you establish the classification within a
particular classification scheme and then specify the classification as an argu-
ment to the

findOrganizations

method.

The following code fragment finds all organizations that correspond to a particu-
lar classification within the NAICS taxonomy. (You can find the NAICS codes at

http://www.census.gov/epcd/naics/naicscod.txt

.)The NAICS taxonomy

has a well-known universally unique identifier (UUID) that is defined by the
UDDI specification. The

getRegistryObject

method finds an object based

upon its key. (See Creating an Organization, page 186 for more information
about keys)

String uuid_naics =

"uuid:C0B9FE13-179F-413D-8A5B-5004DB8E5BB2";

ClassificationScheme cScheme =

(ClassificationScheme) bqm.getRegistryObject(uuid_naics,

LifeCycleManager.CLASSIFICATION_SCHEME);

InternationalString sn = blcm.createInternationalString(

"All Other Specialty Food Stores"));

String sv = "445299";
Classification classification =

blcm.createClassification(cScheme, sn, sv);

Collection<Classification> classifications =

new ArrayList<Classification>();

classifications.add(classification);
BulkResponse response = bqm.findOrganizations(null, null,

classifications, null, null, null);

Collection orgs = response.getCollection();

You can also use classifications to find organizations that offer services based on
technical specifications that take the form of WSDL (Web Services Description
Language) documents. In JAXR, a concept is used as a proxy to hold the infor-
mation about a specification. The steps are a little more complicated than in the
preceding example, because the client must first find the specification concepts
and then find the organizations that use those concepts.

The following code fragment finds all the WSDL specification instances used
within a given registry. You can see that the code is similar to the NAICS query
