Define and describe SOA
What will be an ideal response?
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a form of distributed computing and modular

architectural concept and it can be implemented with Web Services. SOA exposes data and functions in a way that other systems can easily use–as a service in a wrapper with a well-defined interface that performs a business process. The wrapping hides the technical complexities developers have had to incorporate in their point-to-point interfaces.
