Hello Steffen,
Is not exactly for browsing services, but you can search for services
and datatypes in several registries at the same time using Magallanes.
You can find a web client in http://chirimoyo.ac.uma.es/magallanes-web
I hope you find it useful
Best regards, Sergio

"The first step in developing a new genetic analysis algorithm is to decide how to make the input data file format different from all pre-existing analysis data file formats.
The second step in developing a new genetic analysis algorithm is to decide how to make the output data file format incompatible with all pre-existing analysis data file input formats."
