The goal of Web services is to enable communication between different software and hardware systems. These systems typically differ in both their hardware and software configurations. These differences have been overcome through the definition of standard protocols, such as those employed in building Web services. Occasionally, incompatibility issues arise even when using these standard protocols, which can lead to interoperability problems. This tutorial, Part 6 of the "Understanding Web Services specifications" series, explains the nature and origin of Web service interoperability problems. This tutorial also introduces you to the WS-I Basic Profile, which is a set of guidelines Web services should adhere to in order to achieve optimum interoperability.
