What are web services?How do they work?
Web Service facts:Can be written in many, many different languages Important they they communicate in a standard
format, XMLAre critical to CIMS & NEIEN
Caution!Requires partner’s site is stableRequires trust between partners
Examples of Web Services
BabelFish Input: word in english, output language Output: word in requested language
NOAA/NWS Input: weather station ID (KNAK)Output: current weather conditions (temp, wind)
