In web services, a comprehensive interface description would be defined using XML Schema, WSDL, WS-Policy, WS-CDL, and RDF.
A poorly-defined interface requires human communication to determine the formats and protocols required to access the service.

SOAists,
I keep reading about "consumers communicating with services through
*well defined interfaces*" as being one of the essential aspects of a
SOA.
But I cannot figure out, what it means that an interface is "well
defined". Especially I do not understand what an interface is that is
*not* well defined.
Can someone shed some light on this?
Jan
