Abstract:

ASP.NET XML Web Services provide a useful mechanism for exposing statistical calculations and graphics to web application developers. Using this approach, the capabilities of statistical software packages can be tapped by developers without invoking the software's GUI. Data and instructions are passed to the package using XML files. Output (including graphics) is returned as HTML with imbedded images, while numerical results are made available to the calling program in XML files. The same scripts that control the web services can also be accessed by the software package's user interface to reproduce the same analyses, or the GUI can be used to help create the XML scripts. This talk examines some of the issues involved in implementing such an approach, using the STATGRAPHICS statistical software package as an example.
