This protocol is a Web service based protocol that is used to access workbooks controlled by a protocol server. The protocol specified in this document is stateful and relies on sessions (2) to maintain state. Workbooks hosted on a protocol server are used to present, store, manipulate, and calculate tabular data. For an overview of the specific implementation of a workbook server system that uses this protocol, see [MSDN-ESO].
