...Web Services & SOAP
Will do for these discrete functions what XML did for data
- XML = universal data format
- SOAP = universal function invocation standard
Accessible universally from any machine, platform or programming language
Notes:
SOAP (and more generally, Web Services) should have the same effect for discrete functions that XML had for data. If XML can be thought of as a universal data format then SOAP can be seen as a universal function invocation standard that can be accessed universally from any machine, platform or programming language.
