A web service is application which operates over the network—characteristically, over the Internet. Most characteristically, the web service is an API which can be accessed over Internet. The service is then implemented on the remote system which hosts requested services. A good instance, of web services is the “mashups” which are created by users of Google Maps API. With these custom apps, the data that feeds the map is provided by the developer, where the engine that creates the map itself is provided by Google.
