The development of Internet helped various organizations putting their presence online. With the increase of sport organizations on Internet, new problems emerged and new methods are needed to solve the heterogeneity of the existing systems. The difficulty found on the discovery, search and integration between sport organizations, and the lack of resources to support their classification and identification, leads to the need to accept new technologies that can solve this type of problems. On this paper, it is questioned the difficulty in the method used to solve the problem of integrating several sport organizations on a distributed and heterogeneous environment, where can be used new concepts, like web services which promote the access to software components, using web standard protocols like, Hypertext Transport Protocol(HTTP) and Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP). With the use of technologies associated to web services, basically Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), Web Services Description Language (WSDL) and Universal Discovery, Description and Integration (UDD1) is possible to combine sport organizations and to coordinate their offer on products and services. It`s proposed a solution that supports the identification of sport organizations and the classification of products and services, related to their activity based on these technologies. With the adoption of new technologies, the organizations in the sector could improve the redefinition of an existing organizational process, the creation of partnerships to offer new products and the improvement of existing offers. At the end, some reflections are presented on the new challenges that this method creates on the existing models and on the technology aspects needed to carry out these types of solutions.
