Hi Nic, I would not consider WS, SOA and applications as layers. Those are 3 different topics but they have more complex relationships than just being layers on top of each other.
WS is a set of standards implemented by products that could help in establishing a SOA, some of these standards and products might also be used in other applications than just SOAs. SOA is at a more conceptual architecture level, while WS is at a more concrete technical implementation level.
