Although the above standards are commonly accepted, new ones will appear while others evolve to meet new requirements. This ongoing evolution of standards increases combinatory and may decrease reliability of web service-driven business processes. To address this challenge, SAP became co-founder and Board member of the Web Service Interoperability Organization (WS-I). WS-I is committed to promoting interoperability among Web services based on common, industry-accepted definitions and related XML standards. The goals of WS-I are to provide implementation guidance to ease Web services adoption; to promote consistent and reliable interoperability among web services across platforms, applications, and programming languages; to increase industry adoption of Web services; and to ensure the continued evolution of web services technologies. SAP NetWeaver already conforms to WS-I Basic Profile 1.0, the specification that defines the common denominator for web service interoperability.
