The Web services architecture includes a rich suite of specifications that provide complementary functions in the areas of security, reliability, and transaction-based messaging. By design, these specifications may be used together to meet varied service requirements.
The Devices Profile for Web Services (Devices Profile) pulls together a core subset of these specifications into an overall whole. The Devices Profile is a detailed specification intended for those who are implementing networking libraries or platform components. It is written as a set of numbered normative statements together with rationale and examples.
