The standard relies on XML as a language for tagging data; Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) for transferring that data; Web Services Description Language (WSDL) for describing the services available; and Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) for listing what services are available. Perhaps one of the most important things Web Services can offer businesses is a streamlining of middleware integration. Web Services allow for "dynamic integration" - the ability to integrate new applications with one another without time-consuming custom coding - between suppliers, partners and customers. In other words, businesses can integrate business processes beyond the firewall with suppliers, partners and customers without having to understand how those suppliers, partners and customers built their own IT systems. ## Platform Linux Server Apache Note: The past expirience with hotel booking system is a MUST. you should be able to provide examples Additional details would be provided to successful candidates.
