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, Web Service Definition Language, or WSDL).
Web services fulfill a specific task or a set of tasks. A
Web service is described using a standard, formal XML
notion, called its service description, that provides all of
the details necessary to interact with the service,
including message formats (that detail the operations),
transport protocols, and location.
The nature of the interface hides the implementation details
of the service so that it can be used independently of the
hardware or software platform on which it is implemented and
independently of the programming language in which it is
written.
This allows and encourages Web service based applications to
be loosely coupled, component oriented, cross-technology
implementations. Web services can be used alone or in
conjunction with other Web services to carry out a complex
aggregation or a business transaction.
