That particular definition makes every application accessed via the net a web service, including web servers, CGI counter scripts, etc. Although it may be the author's opinion, it's hardly an authoritative definition. I think most people in the industry would at least require that something be based on XML document exchange in order to be called a "web service".

Before we go any further, let's define the basic concept of a "web
service". A web service is a network accessible interface to
application functionality, built using standard Internet technologies.

In other words, if an application can be accessed over a network using a
combination of protocols like HTTP, XML, SMTP, or Jabber, then it is a
web service. Despite all the media hype around web services, it is
really that simple.

Web services are nothing new. Rather, they represent the evolution of
principles that have guided the Internet for years
