Abstract
In its early days, the role of the Internet was that of a data provider: weather, finances, education, institutional, government, in addition to text and images about a myriad of other subjects, could be found on Web pages. As it evolved, the Web is no longer just a data provider, but a provider of services as well: buying and selling, auctions, bank transactions, and travel arrangements are among the services that can be performed online today. During the last decade, industry, government, and education sectors have been trying to establish standards for developing and using Web resources through what came to be known as Web services. There is no single definition for the expression. We list below those we find more adequate.
