RE: WSDL -- Description or Definition?

It should be "description". 
 
However you may find out (for example search in google ) many "definition" were used on the web. The reason may propably result from the error <title> of Web Services Description Language (WSDL) 1.1 W3C Note 15 March 2001[1] . See a comment made by W3C about this problem [2].

Subject: WSDL -- Description or Definition?



Several documents, including the W3C Note at http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl, are inconsistent on the meaning of the ¡°D¡± in WSDL.

 

For example, the title of the W3C Note, ¡°Web Service Definition Language (WSDL)¡± is inconsistent with the heading ¡°Web Service Description Language (WSDL) 1.1¡±
