Collection services
- Definition: Collection services provide an abstract interface to sets of similarly structured objects.
- Motivation: Data sets of similarly structured objects are accessible from many different technologies (RDBMS, XML database, others). The Collections services protocol defines a network service for working with sets of data from such collections independent of the technology of the underlying implementation.

- See the formal specification of the protocol
- See a guide to the currently proposed Collections services protocol (for discussion)
- See a walkthough of a sample data set in a Collections service
- See an implementation as a java servlet
