I think [this](http://help.eclipse.org/kepler/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.jst.ws.consumption.ui.doc.user%2Fconcepts%2Fcwsdlud.html) is a very useful resource, in particular: "A service provider hosts a Web service and makes it accessible using protocols such as SOAP/HTTP and SOAP/JMS. The Web service is described by the WSDL documents that are stored on the provider's server or in a special repository. The WSDL documents are referenced by UDDI business services (service documents) and tModels (binding documents). These pointers enable discovery of a Web service by a service requestor." — logi-kal, Aug 23 '18 at 15:16
