Web Services aim to provide interoperability in machine-to-machine interaction over the network. XML-based open standards like Web Services Description Language (WSDL), Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), and Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) are used to achieve interoperability for defining, publishing, and invoking Web Services.
