WSDL is an XML language that contains information about the
interface, semantics and administration of a call to a web service. A
detail description of the WSDL standard is available online at the W3C
(World Wide Web Consortium) web site at the following URL:

Third party client development
The goal of OPI is to allow customer third party applications to interface
with the MCS provisioning system. Once developed, the third party
application will pass an object to a generated stub. The stub will
translate the object into a SOAP message and pass it along to the
skeleton in the Provisioning Module. The skeleton translates the SOAP
message back to an object, and sends it to the Provisioning Module
data store processes. The data store then interfaces with the Oracle
Database. The translations happen in reverse from the Database to the
third party application.
