Move data in a standardized format:
XML Syntax

Complex Data
Structured
Highly regular, homogeneous structure
Semi-Structured
Heterogeneous structure
Sparse Occurrences of data
Unstructured

XML unifies the representation
of all three kinds of data

Pragmatic Basis for the
Architecture
Web Services are key to building
loosely coupled systems
XML, XML based services and XML
enabled servers are key to building
Web Services
XML is data
Standards based implementations
are key to interoperability
Developers need a framework and
toolset to build Web Services

Creating Services
Simple.asmx
[WebMethod]
public string SimpleRequest(string sRequest)
{
return "Your request was received.";
}
WSDL
<s:schema attributeFormDefault="qualified" elementFormDefault="qualified"
targetNamespace="http://tempuri.org/">
<s:element name="SimpleRequest">
<s:complexType>
<s:sequence>
<s:element name="sRequest" nullable="true" type="s:string"/>
</s:sequence>
</s:complexType>
</s:element>

2001 Microsoft 11
Invoking Services
From the .NET Framework set a reference and code
{
SimpleService myService = new SimpleService();
Console.Write (myService.SimpleRequest(Fetch));
}

From any SOAP compliant implementation

Create your own SOAP implementation
