The World Wide Web is more and more used for application to application
communication. The programmatic interfaces made available are referred to as
Web services
The goal of the Web Services Activity is to develop
a set of technologies in order to lead Web services to their full potential.
The
Web Services Activity Statement
explains the W3C's
work on this topic in more detail.

The
Web Services Resource Access
Working Group
has been created. See its
charter
The mission of the WS Resource Access WG is to produce W3C Recommendations for a set of
Web Services specifications by refining the WS-Transfer, WS-ResourceTransfer, WS-Enumeration,
WS-MetadataExchange and WS-Eventing Member Submissions, addressing existing issues in
those specifications, implementation experience and interoperability feedback from implementers
and considering composition with other Web services standards.

The
SOAP-JMS Binding
Working Group
published
SOAP over Java Message Service 1.0
as a First Public Working Draft.
2008-04-11
The proposed charter for the
SOAP-JMS Binding Working
Group
has been created
. The mission of the SOAP-JMS
Binding Working Group is to produce a W3C Recommendation for how
SOAP should bind to a transport that supports the Java™ Message
Service (JMS) api by refining the "
SOAP over Java™ Message
Service 1.0
" Member Submission. In the case of SOAP 1.2 this
binding must use the SOAP Protocol Binding Framework defined by
the XML Protocol Working Group.
2008-03-28
The
XML Schema
Patterns for Databinding Working Group
published
Basic XML Schema Patterns for Databinding Version
1.0
as a Last Call Working Draft. The review period
ends
30 April 2008
2007-12-26
The proposed charter for the
Web Services Core Working
Group
will not be approved by the Director
, due to its
incompatibilities with the W3C Patent Policy. Maintenance of
existing W3C Recommendations in Web Services will be accomplished
through ad-hoc Groups.

The
Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Working
Group
has published three documents
: First Public Working
Drafts of
EXI
Best Practices
and
EXI Primer
, as well
as a Working Draft of
EXI
Format 1.0
. EXI is a very compact representation for the
Extensible Markup
Language (XML) Information Set
that is intended to
simultaneously optimize performance and the utilization of
computational resources. Using a relatively simple algorithm,
which is amenable to fast and compact implementation, and a small
set of data types, it reliably produces efficient encodings of
XML event streams. The primer and best practices documents
complement the format specification. The best practices document
also presents information suitable for the general reader
interested in EXI's intended role in the expanding Web.
