Solution 1

To put it simply:
A web service is a way to exchange data between a client and a server (the web service) using the http protocol.

A protocol is an agreement on how to do this exchange - the http protocol is one such agreement.

Espen, let's say this is reasonable definition (my 5) but I doubt the Inquirer did not see similar lines in "hundreds of Pages on the internet".

("Watching is not enough, one needs to see", as one of my first book on the art of drawing stated.)

If that is not enough, I don't know what to say:

Some Googling for real-life services may help, as well as a bit of... fantasy...
