Web Services

According to World Wide Web Consortium

A Web service is a software system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine
interaction over a network. It has an interface described in a machine-processable format (specifically WSDL).


Other systems interact with the Web service in a manner prescribed by its description using
SOAP messages, typically conveyed using HTTP with an XML serialization in conjunction with other Web-related standards.




Web services provide a standard means of interoperating between different software applications, running on a variety of platforms and/or frameworks.
