Web services provide a standard way to retrieve data without proprietary software or hardware by transferring data between a provider and requester using HTTP and XML. The document discusses how web services allow for universal data access by different modules such as an administrative desktop application, web site, and mobile access module. Future enhancements discussed include providing additional services like sports news, extending the service to PDAs, and providing SMS weather alerts to customers.

3. WEB SERVICES – UNIVERSAL DATA ACCESS WHAT IS A WEB SERVICE ? The Web service emerged as the solution for providing a standard way to retrieve data without proprietary software and hardware . A Web service cornerstone is its ability to transfer data from the provider to the consumer, or requester, using the ubiquitous HTTP protocol; the data format is XML . Formatting the data in XML greatly facilitates raw data's conversion into a renderable format. Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) perform the transformation rather easily, without complex parsing programs.
