Accessing Opportunity Tab Views from outside

Is it possible to get access to views which the user has set up on their Opportunity tab via the Web services API?  If so, how?

What I really want it either:
a) the filter criteria which form the view so I can form a query myself OR
b) the result set of a view

I'm not particularly familiar with these styles of metadata queries and the object structures that describe them.  Is there a good resource out there for learning?

TIA
Simon

Hi Simon,

Currently the Metadata API supports ListViews on Custom Objects, not Standard. Here is a link to the doc:

Best,
