As name suggest, a service repository is a collection of web services. A Web service is a method/medium of communications between two electronic devices over the internet. Web services are used primarily as a “way for businesses to communicate with each other and with clients; Web services allow organizations to communicate data without intimate knowledge of each other’s IT systems behind the firewall”. Web services do not provide a GUI to the user but they share business logic, data and processes through a programmatic interface across a network.
