<definitions name="PurchaseOrder" targetNamespace=
  "http://actioncon.com/contract/po" ...>
  ...
</definitions>

Example 7.1 - The opening and closing definitions elements establishing the root construct that will contain the entire WSDL
definition.


<definitions name="PurchaseOrder" targetNamespace=
  "http://actioncon.com/contract/po"
  xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"
  xmlns:tns="http://actioncon.com/contract/po"
  xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"
  xmlns:po="http://actioncon.com/schema/po"
  xmlns:soap11="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"
  xmlns:soap12="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap12/">

Example 7.2 - The opening definitions element populated with sample prefix definitions.


<documentation>
  This is an entity service responsible for purchase
  order-related processing only.
</documentation>

Example 7.3 - A modest documentation construct with some comments.


<definitions name="PurchaseOrder" targetNamespace=
  "http://actioncon.com/contract/po"
  xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"
  xmlns:tns="http://actioncon.com/contract/po">
  <documentation>
    This is an entity service responsible for purchase
    order-related processing only.
  </documentation>
  ...
</definitions>

Example 7.4 - The definitions construct further supplemented with annotations placed in a documentation construct.
