xml-dev - RE: XML across varied Servers

[Joshua Allen <joshuaa@microsoft.com>]

Dave Winer's Definition:

"SOAP is an XML format, specification, and a set of implementations that
allow software running on disparate operating systems, running in different
environments to make procedure calls over the Internet."

I think of it as a complement to COM or CORBA, though, not
necessarily a replacement.  SOAP doesn't have to run over
HTTP, BTW -- you can send and receive SOAP messages over
any transport you like.
