"Now, the administrator of this system has come to me, wanting to import data into the system by using the webservices component."

Web services have little to do with HTML forms.

Web services requests are either done from Javascript (e.g., as Ajax) or they're done from your application programs.

You would write a C# or VB program that used HTTP to do a Put to the given web services URL with the given set of data.

Here, for instance, is some sample VB code: http://developer.yahoo.com/dotnet/howto-rest_vb.html#post

Replace the method string of "POST" with "PUT".
