While a little bit out dated for its testing realm, this article holds some still useful information for the modern developer. "XML in the browser has been the subject of many spirited discussions about bleeding-edge web development. Some feel that XML in place of HTML isn’t ready for prime time due to the lack of user agents that can properly parse and render it. Others feel that XML really belongs on the server or used solely as a descriptive framework for data and has no place in the visual world of the Web which is already adequately served by

The technology resolves semantic ambiguities in the descriptions of Web service interfaces by combining information retrieval and semantic Web techniques. Information retrieval techniques are used to resolve the domain-independent relationships. For example, in this approach, semantic similarity is derived using an English thesaurus after "tokenization" and part-of-speech tagging of the names of the elements that describe the interfaces of Web services. Semantic Web techniques are used to resolve domain-specific similarities. For example, the

Web services are a set of tools that can be used in a number of ways. The three most common styles of use are RPC, SOA and REST. Remote procedure calls RPC Web services present a distributed function (or method) call interface that is familiar to many developers. Typically, the basic unit of RPC Web services is the WSDL operation. The first Web services tools were focused on RPC, and as a result this style is widely deployed and supported. However, it is sometimes criticised for not being loosely coupled, because it was often implemented by mapping

Annotation is the process of associating metadata with data. This article presents a Web services API intended as an industry standard for client-server systems designed to facilitate the structured annotation of heterogeneous data. The author presents the goals of the Annotation Web services API and then discusses how those goals motivate the data model around which the API operates. The author also discusses 29 methods that comprise the API including two examples of possible sequences of API calls to create and retrieve annotations. The Annotation
