A Web Service is a networked software program that can be talked to over a network.

There is no agreement of what does or what doesn't constitute a web service, some say it has to be a SOAP service, while others define it as anything that can talk over a network, however SOAP still is the most used standard for web services, due to it being usable from just about any platform.

XML-RPC is another standard that's often used, which has the advantage that is lighter, but the disadvantage that it has less features.

RemObjects SDK provides both SOAP and XML-RPC support on both Delphi and .NET.
