Completed Work
W3C Recommendations have
been reviewed by W3C Members, by software developers, and by other
W3C groups and interested parties, and are endorsed by the
Director as Web Standards. Learn more about the W3C Recommendation
Track.
Group Notes are not standards and do not
have the same level of W3C endorsement.

This document describes a set of requirements for a standard
reference architecture for Web services developed by the Web
Services Architecture Working Group. These requirements are
intended to guide the development of the reference architecture and
provide a set of measurable constraints on Web services
implementations by which conformance can be determined.
