Composite Web Service

I heard about this term from my colleague, initially I thought it would be something similar to wrapper webservice / Façade pattern implementation in which a web service composed of various other web services but after some goggling it seems to be bit different.

A Composite web service is set of web services which are orchestrated in a manner to achieve a particular business flow. Complex web services may be created by aggregating the functionality provided by simpler ones. This is referred to as service composition and the aggregated web service becomes a composite web service.
