Personalization
In this work we investigated the role of the Web Services model and the use of the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) as an interface between components that contribute to subject gateway functionality. Our implementation work involved the development of functions as a set of SOAP services in Perl, using the SOAP::Lite toolkit developed by Paul Kulchenko. The advantages of the SOAP protocol are that it is platform- and language-independent, thus supporting interoperability between gateways, and re-use of tools and services. Development is relatively straightforward, with many freely available toolkits emerging to support development in a wide range of programming languages.
