There are a lot of definitions of SOA out there, most very dry and verbose. Dan Fornes, CEO of Software Advice, just recently wrote a nice intro article on SOA's: Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs): A Plain English Guide that cuts through all that and explains terms in plain English. I especially like his simple definition: "A new and better way to get a bunch of different software programs to work together so people can do things that require information from each of those systems." Especially valuable is a Glossary of terms that he provides definitions for in plain English. A recomended read!
