SOAP is a lightweight, extensible, XML-based protocol for information exchange in a decentralized, distributed environment. Primarily, SOAP defines a framework for message structure and a message processing model. SOAP also defines a set of encoding rules for serializing data and a convention for making remote procedure calls. The SOAP extensibility model provides the foundation for a wide range of composable modules and protocols running over a variety of underlying protocols such as HTTP.
By Supporting the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), Virtuoso enables you to integrate business processes within and across organization boundaries. Virtuoso's SOAP Support implementation enables you to execute Virtuoso Stored Procedures over HTTP. This is a significant component in any B2B development and implementation effort. Development is very rapid and is directly incorporated within the database environment required for keeping B2B processes running accurately.
