E-learning is currently taking the shape of a Web Service in various applications i.e. learners can search for suitable content, book it, pay for it and consume it. This paper shows how the search aspects for e-learning content can technically be combined with the recent standardization efforts that aim at content exchangeability and efficient reuse. A repository for learning object publication and search is proposed that essentially adapts the UDDI framework used in commercial Web Services to the e-learning context. To adopt Web Services technology towards the reusability and aggregation of e-learning services, the conceptual Web Services architecture and its building blocks need to be augmented. The objective of this research is to design broker based registry architecture for e- Web services which facilitates effective e-learning content/service discovery for the consumption or composition. The implementation followed by experimentation showed that, the proposed e-learning discovery architecture facilitates effective discovery with moderate performance in terms of overall response.
