Web Services • A new, modern method for integrating applications • Services – programs that are always active, ready to respond to requests • Web – The connections between services are made using the Internet rather than a local or wide-area network. • Link together applications that were built on different platforms, with different languages, independent of databases and operating systems • XML is the “universal glue” that links services together.
TransXML – Two Special Requests • Get Involved in TransXML via the website transxml.net • Ask IT Directors to consider funding for TransXML
