Web Services

Web services are internet applications that allow the displaying of any information on any operating system. Web services include Simple Object Access Protocol(SOAP), Web Services Description Language(WSDL), Universal Description, Discovery and Integration(UDDI) and Web Services Security(WSS or WS-Security). All the applications need to process Extensible Markup Language (XML).

In order to implement Web services, two things are needed: an environment to develop the Web services, and a platform to deploy the Web services (MacVittie, 2003).
