A processing or communication service that is provided by a system to give a specific kind of protection to resources, where said resources may reside with said system or reside with other systems, for example, an authentication service or a PKI-based document attribution and authentication service. A security service is a superset of AAA services. Security services typically implement portions of security policies and are implemented via security mechanisms. [RFC 2828]

A service is an abstract resource that represents a capability of performing tasks that form a coherent functionality from the point of view of providers entities and requesters entities. To be used, a service must be realized by a concrete provider agent.

A service interface is the abstract boundary that a service exposes. It defines the types of messages and the message exchange patterns that are involved in interacting with the service, together with any conditions implied by those messages.
A logical grouping of operations. An interface represents an abstract service type, independent of transmission protocol and data format. [WSD Reqs]

A service intermediary is a Web service whose main role is to transform messages in a value-added way. (From a messaging point of view, an intermediary processes messages en route from one agent to another.) Specifically, we say that a service intermediary is a service whose outgoing messages are equivalent to its incoming messages in some application-defined sense.
See SOAP intermediary.

From Web Services Glossary (2004-02-11)
An abstract set of tasks which is identified to be relevant by a person or organization offering a service. Service roles are also associated with particular aspects of messages exchanged with a service.

The semantics of a service is the behavior expected when interacting with the service. The semantics expresses a contract (not necessarily a legal contract) between the provider entity and the requester entity. It expresses the effect of invoking the service. A service semantics may be formally described in a machine readable form, identified but not formally defined, or informally defined via an out of band agreement between the provider and the requester entity.

A set of components which can be invoked, and whose interface descriptions can be published and discovered.

A lasting interaction between system entities, often involving a user, typified by the maintenance of some state of the interaction for the duration of the interaction. [WSIA Glossary]
Such an interaction may not be limited to a single connection between the system entities.

The formal set of conventions governing the format and processing rules of a SOAP message. These conventions include the interactions among SOAP nodes generating and accepting SOAP messages for the purpose of exchanging information along a SOAP message path.
From Web Services Glossary (2004-02-11)
A software entity that produces, consumes or otherwise acts upon SOAP messages in a manner conforming to the SOAP processing model.
From Web Services Glossary (2004-02-11)
The formal set of rules for carrying a SOAP message within or on top of another protocol (underlying protocol) for the purpose of exchange. Examples of SOAP bindings include carrying a SOAP message within an HTTP entity-body, or over a TCP stream.
From Web Services Glossary (2004-02-11)
A collection of zero or more element information items targeted at an ultimate SOAP receiver in the SOAP message path.
From Web Services Glossary (2004-02-11)
The outermost element information item of a SOAP message.
From Web Services Glossary (2004-02-11)
A SOAP element information item which contains fault information generated by a SOAP node.
From Web Services Glossary (2004-02-11)
An extension of the SOAP messaging framework typically associated with the exchange of messages between communicating SOAP nodes. Examples of features include "reliability", "security", "correlation", "routing", and the concept of message exchange patterns.
From Web Services Glossary (2004-02-11)
A collection of zero or more SOAP header blocks each of which might be targeted at any SOAP receiver within the SOAP message path.
