Web
Service
Overview
A Web Service is a piece of code that is made available on a machine that is connected to the Internet. The web part of a Web Service defines the method it is accessed; the service part relates to the idea of providing access to functionality without having to download or install anything. Since it is run on the web, it can be accessed by any machine connected to the Internet and it. Because it is created with a standardized protocol, it can be accessed from any environment.
