What is a Web Service?What is a Web Service?

USGS

EPA

Internet (XML)

•Computer-to-computer

•Uses Input parameters and outputs XML

•Can be used in multiple ways by many applications

A common web service A common web service exampleexample

Input Parameter: Zip Code

Weather Network

Returns XML

Weatherbug translates XML into information for the task bar

Weatherbug is an example that many are familiar with

This is all done via a Web Service

Web Services allow linkagesWeb Services allow linkages……
