Glossary

9   web service
10       Web services are RPC (Remote Procedure Call) interfaces accessible via
11       some internet protocol, typically via HTTP(S).
12
13   SOAP
14       SOAP is (was - since 1.2 the name "SOAP" has no meaning any more) an
15       acronym for Simple Object Access Protocol.  SOAP is a W3C
16       recommendation. The latest version of the SOAP specification may be
17       found at <http://www.w3.org/TR/soap/>.
18
19       SOAP defines a protocol for message exchange between applications.  The
20       most popular usage is to use SOAP for remote procedure calls (RPC).
21
22       While one of the constituting aspects of a web service is its
23       reachability via some internet protocol, you might as well define SOAP
24       services accessible via postcards.
25
26       Despite it's former name, SOAP has nothing more to do with objects than
27       cars have with pets - SOAP messages may, but not necessarily do carry
28       objects, very much like your car may, but does not need to carry your
29       pet.
30
31   WSDL
32       WSDL is an acronym for Web Services Description Language.  WSDL is a
33       W3C recommendation. The latest version of the WSDL specification may be
34       found at <http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl20/>.
35
36       WSDL defines a XML-based language for describing web service
37       interfaces, including SOAP interfaces.
38
39   WS-I
40       WS-I (Web Services Interoperability Organization) is an open industry
41       organisation chartered to promote Web service interoperability across
42       platforms, operating systems, and programming languages.
43
44       WS-I publishes profiles, which provide implementation guidelines for
45       how related Web services specifications should be used together for
46       best interoperability. To date, WS-I has finalized the Basic Profile,
47       Attachments Profile and Simple SOAP Binding Profile.
48
49       SOAP::WSDL aims at complying to the WS-I Basic Profile (but does not
50       implement full support yet).
51
52   SOAP message styles
53       rpc
54
55       Meant for transporting a RPC message. All contents of the SOAP body are
56       put into a top-level node named equal to the SOAP operation.
57
58       WS-I Basic Profile allows the use of rpc message style.
59
60       SOAP::WSDL does not support rpc message style yet.
61
62       SOAP::Lite supports rpc message style only.
63
64       document
65
66       Meant for transporting arbitrary content. No additional nodes are
67       inserted between the SOAP body and the actual content.
68
69       WS-I Basic Profile allows the use of document message style.
70
71   SOAP encoding styles
72       encoded
73
74       literal
