Web Services is the term being used to describe some of the technologies for solving the problems of integrating applications across the enterprise and between disparate companies over the Internet. Web Services are also being described as the concepts and technologies for delivering services and content to any Web-enabled client or device. A simplified attempt at defining Web Services generically might be as follows: Web Services are URI-addressable resources that use existing Internet infrastructures and protocols to allow applications, services, and devices to discover them, connect to them, and execute their business logic using remote method calls. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
