Hi Nina, All, I'm posting it here too: You can describe it using the car analogy. Was it a car, the web services would be all the hardware parts of the engine while the wheel and the pedals would be the application front-end. A web-service is, simply put, something that works "behind the scenes" and usually the end-user does not interact directly with it. A web-service offers an interface to a remote client-machine while a web-application goes along with a user interface. The communication between a client application and a web service involves RDF or other XML documents and/or other low-level elements that are not to be presented to the end-user or exposed to people in general. A web application orchestrates these services to provide a user-friendly environment.
