WebServices are a way for programs to talk to each other via the [Web]. In essence, they're an [HTTP]-based (and thus more bloated and more trendy) reiteration of [RPC]. They are a rarity on the open web; the bonmot goes that “there are more [SOAP] implementations than there are WebServices on the open web.” |

Probably the most well-known specimen is [Amazon]’s [SOAP] [API], which offers a lot of information about books and ways to sell them, so you can display specific information about books available at [Amazon] on your own WebSite (perhaps listing all the books you authored). This information will remain in sync with the database at [Amazon]. |
