In the most simplistic way a Web service may be defined as "a Web accesable program code which performs a task of either processing or serving some data.

It states that " We can identify two major classes of Web services: REST-compliant Web services, in which the primary purpose of the service is to manipulate XML representations of Web resources using a uniform set of "stateless" operations; and arbitrary Web services, in which the service may expose an arbitrary set of operations.
