Web Services are an integral part of a new technology and set of standards and protocols (including SOAP and XSD) designed to enhance and simplify the interaction of heterogeneous and remote software components across the Internet and within intranets. Microsoft has embraced these new standards and has made them an integral part of its .NET strategy both in its Visual Studio.NET (VS.NET) development environment and the .NET Framework in order to facilitate the use of Web Services.
