Abstract:
Web services have been defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) as “a
software system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over
a network.” The W3C is an international consortium that develops protocols
and guidelines for the Web. It also establishes the mark-up validity of web documents in
HTML, XHTML, and other mark-up languages to make sure that they conform to the rules.
Web services utilize Web 2.0, the most recent generation of the Web.
