That's how I used to think of it, too.  But I was in a minority.

Yes:  a "method name" and calling sequence (e.g., multiple parameters) and
return value.  In SOA, you think more of sending XML documents around and
there's only one method, probably POST, and some meta-data, like a
URI/URL.

It is admittedly kinda fuzzy-wuzzy, but that's not uncommon when you start
talking about "architecture." :)
