| Web browser | A web browser is a software application that enables a user to display and interact with HTML documents hosted by web servers or held in a file system. Web browsers support by Snowbound Software products include Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x and higher, Netscape Navigator 4.x and higher, Mozilla 1.0 and higher, and Mozilla Firefox 1.0 and higher. |
| Web Server | A web server is a computer permanently connected to the Internet, running an application allowing files to be transferred over the Internet to a client machine. Web server programs operate by accepting HTTP requests from the network, and providing an HTTP response to the requester. The HTTP response typically consists of an HTML document, but can be a raw text file, an image, or some other type of document. |

| Web Services |
Web services provide a standard means of interoperating between different
software applications, running on a variety of platforms and/or frameworks.
Web services are characterized by their great interoperability and
extensibility, as well as their machine-processable descriptions thanks to
the use of XML. They can be combined in a loosely coupled way in order to
achieve complex operations. Programs providing simple services can interact
with each other in order to deliver sophisticated added-value services. Definition provided by W3C Web Services Activity Statement |
