E.g., an "Internet Service" is

• a possibly remote procedure with an
• invocation that is described in a standard (preferably XML-based) machine readable syntax
• reachable via standard Internet protocols
• including at a minimum a description of the allowed input and output messages, as well as
• possible semantic annotation of the service function and data meaning.

We use "Web Service" to mean Internet Services that use WSDL.
