Though XML and efficient digital
esignature XML software solutions is now primarily considered a
method
for data exchange, it was originally designed to solve limitations in
the HTML standard, which was rapidly changing at the time. Companies
like Microsoft and Netscape modified the HTML standard to gain
mindshare, and the W3C couldn't keep up with changing the HTML spec
every few months. So in essence, the W3C said, "Let's give them an
extensible markup language." And XML was born. An XML application
is organized into several parts. First, the actual XML document (known
as the document instance) contains markup that represents your data. For
simplicity, let's call this the XML or efficient digital esignature
XML software solutions data.

Efficient digital esignature XML
software solutions can perform specific tasks, such as calculating a
mortgage payment or conducting a securities trade. You can combine
Web
services with other services to create larger applications, accessed
through a network connection and invoked at run time. This means that
you can combine Web services dynamically, thereby creating new Web
services on the fly. (For case studies of companies implementing Web
services, see the Internet Business feature "Web Services Warm Up" in
this issue.) The cornerstone of Web services is SOAP (Simple Object
Access Protocol), essentially an
XML vocabulary that describes a way to
perform messaging in XML - efficient digital esignature XML software
solutions. Originally developed at User land Software, Develop
Mentor, and Microsoft as a means of inter-application communication,
SOAP describes commands and parameters that can be passed between
efficient digital esignature XML software solutions, Web servers and
clients.
