  • WSDL
    http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-soap/index.html?dwzone=ws

    (See figure 1 for a most useful description of the relationship between various web-services components.)

    http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl : WSDL is an XML format for describing network services as a set of endpoints operating on messages containing either document- oriented or procedure-oriented information. The operations and messages are described abstractly, and then bound to a concrete network protocol and message format to define an endpoint. Related concrete endpoints are combined into abstract endpoints (services). WSDL is extensible to allow description of endpoints and their messages regardless of what message formats or network protocols are used to communicate, however, the only bindings described in this document describe how to use WSDL in conjunction with SOAP 1.1, HTTP GET/POST, and MIME.

    My take:  WSDL is an application of XML for describing web service endpoints at a fairly low level.  Roughly, it describes a mapping of services (identified by URI) to message formats (also identified by URI) to and protocol bindings (also identified by URI) and endpoint addresses (identified by URIs).

  • SAML
    See SAML under formats:  SAML includes a framework for binding SAML requests to an underlying protocol.  (Is this rather like SOAP?)

    Outstanding work that has been suggested

    mapping BEEP onto SCTP

    mapping BEEP onto multiple TCP connections


    There is also a binding for SOAP over BEEP:
