service oriented architecture

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) describes a methodology for designing software in a modular way. These modules provide services which other software modules can interact with. By complying with standards - a range of re-usable modules end up being created which can be combined in different ways to provide solutions which organisations can use. SOA is often linked to the way the web is evolving such that applications from different vendors can work with each other.
