Etymology won't tell you what a web service is. The concept is not a simple consequence of the two words. Definition: A web service is an interoperable computational service, specified in terms of protocols (the messages it receives and sends), language-neutral, platform-independent, using XML and SOAP, and based on computer-to-computer message exchange without the assumption of a human as the immediate processor of the messages. -----Original Message----- From: Sam [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, November 06, 2002 6:47 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [SOAP] Etymology of "web service" I was curious to see if anyone knew the origin of the term "web service" . Trying to see if I can get the etymology behind it.
