Status of the Web Services Architecture Working Group
- Editors'
copy of a Web Services Requirements document (very rough
draft).
- List of issues.
- Interim definition of a Web service (no consensus on it) which will be reworked in
light of the requirements:
A Web service is a software application or component identified by
a URI, whose interfaces and binding are capable of being described
by standard XML vocabularies and that supports direct interactions
with other software applications or components through the exchange of
information that is expressed in terms of an XML Infoset via
Internet-based protocols.
