XML namespace

WSDL 1.1

The service-description namespace for SOAP web services. Still the version almost every deployed WSDL uses.

xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"

WSDL 1.1 was published as a W3C Note rather than a Recommendation, and WSDL 2.0 — which uses a different namespace and renames portType to interface — never displaced it in practice.

A WSDL document normally declares several namespaces at once: this one for the description, XMLSchema for the inline types, the SOAP binding namespace, and a target namespace for the service's own messages.
