WSDL

Web Services Description Language. A standard by which a web service can tell clients what messages it accepts and which results it will return. WSDL is an XML language which is used by service interfaces and protocol agreements, among others, for describing access to Web Services. WSDL is independent from the underlying service implementation language or component model.
