The Standars forAutomation

The W3C consortium has chosen a set of technology standards that support the implementation of Service Oriented architecture. These standards are those that underpin the Internet as well as in the emerging area of Web Services. These standards were chosen because of their open and platform neutral manner thus allowing an open and flexible choice for the implementer. The following architecture shows how the Process Automation Applications technology standards build upon one another and upon this existing infrastructure of internet technologies.
