- It has an interface described in a machine-processable format (specifically, Web Service Definition Language, or WSDL).
- Web services fulfil a specific task or a set of tasks.
- The nature of the interface hides the implementation details of the service so that it can be used independently of the hardware or software platform on which it is implemented and independently of the programming language in which it is written.
