Summary

"Web Services" describes a new model for business on the Web. Until now, the web has provided for the browsing of linked documents, downloading of files, and manually-initiated transactions, all via a browser. Web Services will allow transactions to be initiated automatically, and therefore speed up e-commerce response times. It will also introduce new ways of using the web, marketplaces and auctions, for example, all built on XML technologies and protocols. Web Services can be thought of as the Yellow Pages and the White Pages of the Internet and is a major step towards fully automated Business-to-Business (B2B) transactions.
