What is the Web of Services?
There’re a lot of comments in the market about “The web of services” from the simple ways of
content syndication used today to the futuristic approach of UDDI. In its creation, the web
was a collection of documents, browseable information. As the web evolved it was good to add
some services to the web. In the future, the web will be the place where organizations provide
services useful to the consumer and/or other organizations. This synergy between b2b and
b2c models can be thought as a web of services.
