Abstract :
A Web service is a software system designed to support interoperable application-to-application interaction over the Internet. Web services are based on a set of XML standards, such as universal description, discovery and integration (UDDI), Web services description language (WSDL), and simple object access protocol (SOAP). Based on prior studies, this paper proposes a vocabulary-based Web services privacy framework for protecting health data privacy under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).
