Simple Object Access Protocol

SOAP (formerly an acronym of Simple Object Access Protocol) is a light-weight protocol for exchanging messages between computer software, typically in the form of software components. The word object implies that the use should adhere the object-oriented programming programming paradigm.

SOAP is an extensible and decentralized framework that can work over multiple computer network protocol stacks. Remote procedure calls can be modeled as an interaction of several SOAP messages. SOAP is one of the enabling protocols for Web services.

SOAP can be run on top of all the Internet Protocols, but HTTP is the most common and the only one standardized by the W3C. SOAP is based on XML, and its design follows the "Head-Body" Pattern, not unlike HTML. The head contains meta-information like information for routing, security and transactions. The body transports the main information.

Cassini Finds Prometheus A Sculptor Of Saturn's Rings
Images of Saturn's narrow and contorted F ring returned by cameras onboard NASA's Cassini spacecraft have revealed phenomena not previously detected in any planetary ring. The F ring is notorious for exhibiting unusual structures, like "knots,""kinks,"and "clumps"that continue to puzzle astronomers. However, Cassini images have shown that the gravitational effect of the inner shepherding satellite, Prometheus, appears to produce regular patterns on the ring including a series of channels or gores and 'streamers' of particles that temporarily link the ring to the satellite.
