THE ROLE OF WEB SERVICE IN INFORMATION SHARING AND INTEGRATION OF EDUCATIONAL SERVICES

This paper seeks to explore the utility and vitality of the web services in the educational domain. It will also illustrate various scenarios where web services could be a probable solution to a problem faced in the education sector. Although many web-based educational systems exist presently only a few of them are capable of sharing their components with others, hence a web service could be used to provide interoperability and reusability of various educational components. The advent of web services can give a new dimension to the current education system altogether and this paper is all about proposing the ways and means to go about achieving the same.
