<h1>Web Services Activity Statement</h1>
<p>Web services provide a standard means of interoperating between different
software applications, running on a variety of platforms and/or frameworks.
Web services are characterized by their great interoperability and
extensibility, as well as their machine-processable descriptions thanks to
the use of XML. They can be combined in a loosely coupled way in order to
achieve complex operations. Programs providing simple services can interact
with each other in order to deliver sophisticated added-value services.</p>
<p>The W3C Web Services Activity is designing the infrastructure, defining
the architecture and creating the core technologies for Web services. The <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/soap12-part1">SOAP 1.2</a> XML-based
messaging framework became a W3C Recommendation in June 2003 and the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/REC-soap12-mtom-20050125/">SOAP
Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism (MTOM)</a> in January 2005.</p>
<p>Here is a comprehensive list of Recommendations pertaining to the W3C Web Services Activity:</p>

<h2>Upcoming Activity Highlights</h2>
<p>W3C is organizing a <a href="/2011/10/integration-workshop/">workshop</a> on <a href="/2011/10/integration-workshop/">Data and Services Integration </a>. It will be held October 20-21 2011 in Bedford, MA, hosted by <a href="http:///www.mitre.org/">MITRE</a>. See the <a href="/2011/10/integration-workshop/cfp.html">Call fo Participation</a>.</p>
