What the is a web service??

A web service is an application, delivered as a service, that can be integrated with other web applications/services using Internet standards.

BGTAddressToolsBasicAddressMatch web service

A web service is an URL-addressable resource that programmatically returns information to clients who want to use it, using common Internet coding standards such as HTTP and XML

BGTAddressToolsBasicAddressMatch web service

The use of common coding standards make web services available to other applications, completely independent of platform, location and language constraints.

Web services can be used by multiple agencies (and multiple applications within an agency) without agencies needing to devote time and funding to develop the same application process.

BGTAddressToolsBasicAddressMatch web service

The BasicAddressMatch web service is an Enterprise web service allowing an input address string to be geocoded using TANA/GDT Matchmaker data

BGTAddressToolsBasicAddressMatch web service

BasicAddressMatch is a native .NET web service that is callable from an agency application.

BGTAddressToolsBasicAddressMatch web service

Calling application will pass string of data containing:

AddressCity

StateZip
