Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) - A model for application construction that decouples server business functionality from client logic. The business functionality is organized as a collection of modules (services) each of which has a clear business entity and strict formal interfaces. The entity allows a requester to map a function to a service, and the formal interface enables any qualified requester to invoke the service without any information regarding its internal design. Behind the interface, the implementation of the service may be a single program or a flow of multiple programs and may include calls to a message broker. (Gartner definition) A service-oriented architecture is a collection of services that communicate with each other. The services are self-contained and do not depend on the context or state of the other service. They work within a distributed systems architecture. (DMReview definition)

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) - Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a design or a plan that describes a theoretical software system. This architecture describes services that are discrete, re-useable and independent of the programming or networking environment where they are used. These services have simple interfaces and since they are tools-independent, can be used by many different service consumers.

Although an architecture, by definition, it is only a plan for how something will work; as it's implemented today, an SOA will probably use Internet protocols for communication and XML for data formats. It will have a Uniform Resource Locator (URI) and it will process XML documents, for example.
