Towards A Unified View of Service-Oriented Web

This paper discusses the current landscape of the services available over the Web and proposes a unified view for the future service-oriented Web. Apart from the current Web services accessible by Web applications, other services are directly provided to end users through Web pages, among which the "deep Web" provides online queries through Web pages for users to access the hidden databases. This paper presents our categorization examples to illustrate this concept, as well as the methodology used to categorize these hidden Web services. We illustrate how computational Web services can improvise supply chain management as well as delivery logistics
