The Devices Profile for Web Services specifies a lightweight subset of the overall Web services protocol suite that is appropriate for network-connected devices. The Devices Profile prescribes how to use elements of core Web services specifications to enable these functions: | • | Send more secure messages to and from a Web service | | • | Dynamically discover a Web service | | • | Describe a Web service | | • | Subscribe to, and receive events from, a Web service |
In Windows Vista, the Web Services on Devices API (WSDAPI) is an implementation of the Devices Profile. This generic Devices Profile stack provides the foundation for connecting to Web Services-based devices as both a client and as a service.
