This site is dedicated to providing a master glossary in support of books in the Prentice Hall Service-Oriented Computing Series from Thomas Erl. Hundreds of additional terms are in the queue and new definitions are currently being added on a regular basis. This glossary will continue to grow as new books are published throughout 2008 and 2009. To be notified of when groups of new term definitions are added to this glossary, use the notification form.
