WCF Data Services makes it easy to expose your data for integration scenarios or to third parties. WDS could also be employed as an integration layer for web and Silverlight projects. The latest release of WCF Data Services contains much-needed paging and projection features and seems to be a very useful technology. Interested developers should also take a look at WCF RIA Services, which builds on top of WDS, adding many other features.
