Abstract

The invention provides an asset management system based on Web Service and using XML to define the asset. The system provides a remote asset access interface through an asset configuration file defined with XML file format and a Web Service style, which enables the asset management system to flexibly manage various operating systems and the detailed information of each component module. The system also provides a Web Service remote access interface for each computer system unit based on the flexible and easy-to-expand characteristics of XML and Web Service. Once the Web Service remote access interface is called and is analyzed as an XML asset configuration description file, the system can be well integrated no matter the client program is C++, Java, or C#, or the client is based on an application program or a Web program. Therefore, the system reduces the complexity of the integration for asset management, which can be developed separately while not needing to integrate into other systems.
