Network Publishing

Network publishing is a term that refers to using Web Services to make data available to Network users by querying nodes and returning environmental data in the form of XML documents. These services are also called data services. Once these data services are deployed, they can be used in a number of ways such as populating Web pages, synchronizing data between sites, viewing data in a Web service client, or building new sources of data into an integrated application. In other words, Network publishing is a specific subset of the many possible types of Web Services. Other Web service types include data submission, security, quality assurance, notification, and status.
