WSDL

The Web Services Description Language, or WSDL, serves as a standard language for describing a particular web service. WSDL describes the public interface to a web service. Users of CORBA, another distributed application framework, may be familiar with Interface Definition Language (IDL); WSDL serves a similar function. In addition to describing the interface, WSDL also describes the binding of services to lower level protocols.

The WSDL note is located at http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-wsa-reqs-20020819.
