Definitions
- A WSDL document defines services as a collection of
network endpoints or ports, where the port types
are abstract collection of operations, and the concrete
protocol and data format specifications for a particular port
type constitutes a reusable binding.
- Types: a container for data type definitions using
some type system such as XSD.
- Message: an abstract, typed definition of the data
being communicated.
- Operation: an abstract description of an action
supported by the service.
- Port Type: an abstract set of operations supported by
one or more endpoints.
- Binding: a concrete protocol and data format
specification for a particular port type.
- Port: a single endpoint defined as a combination of a
binding and a network address.
- Service: a collection of related endpoints.
