Web Services and Service-Oriented Architectures
Service-oriented architecture is a way to design, implement, and assemble services to support or automate business functions. Various Web services can be used to connect services. This chapter first explains Web services connections. It begins with an analogy to connections used in audio-video (AV) systems (specifically, services in a service-oriented architecture are to AV components as Web services are to the connections between AV components). The connection technology of Web services is explained along with the importance of standardized semantic vocabularies. Then service-oriented architectures are explained in more detail.
