| What are Web Services? |
Web services are special Web resources that can interact
with a variety of Web-capable clients, including human
users, mobile devices, e-business portals and so on. They
process service requests, respond with messages, aggregate
server resources, and serve as building blocks for other
computer applications. They represent the vision of a
"programmable Web" as well as the industry standards
and cutting-edge technologies for delivering this new generation
of interactive Web.
As new technologies, Web services provide the City of
Wichita an opportunity in bringing citizens services that were
previously unavailable. We share the vision, and it is our focus
to "open the doors"
to provide convenient and reliable access to City information 24
hours a day 7 days a week.
With support of open industry standards and software companies such as
Microsoft,
Sun Microsystems,
IBM, Web services are become a mainstream
building architecture for next-generation software applications.
