What is a Web Service?What is a Web Service?
USGS
EPA
Internet (XML)
•Computer-to-computer
•Uses Input parameters and outputs XML
•Can be used in multiple ways by many applications
A common web service A common web service exampleexample
Input Parameter: Zip Code
Weather Network
Returns XML
Weatherbug translates XML into information for the task bar
Weatherbug is an example that many are familiar with
This is all done via a Web Service
Web Services allow linkagesWeb Services allow linkages……
