SOAP forms the foundation layer of the web services stack, providing a basic messaging framework that more abstract layers can build on.
There are several different types of messaging patterns in SOAP, but by far the most common is the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) pattern, where one network node (the client) sends a request message to another node (the server), and the server immediately sends a response message to the client.
SOAP originally was an acronym for Simple Object Access Protocol, but the acronym was dropped in Version 1.2 of the SOAP specification.

Soap operas were introduced to network television in 1949, with NBC 's short-lived These Are My Children, followed by NBC 's Hawkins Falls in June 1950 and CBS 's two year run of The First Hundred Years in December 1950.
The term "soap opera" originated from the fact that when these serial dramas were aired on daytime radio, the commercials aired during the shows were largely aimed at homemaker.
Soaps aired during the old-time radio usually used organ (music) s to produce most of their music (because they were cheaper than full-blown orchestra s).

Bellbird followed the lives of a community of country folk for more than ten years and became Australia's first successful soap opera.

Bellbird originally screened for 15 minutes at tea-time four nights a week (Monday through Thursday) as a lead-in to the 7:00pm news.

 Aussie Soap Archive: Cop Shop
The Crawford's police dramas Homicide, Division 4 and Matlock Police had died out in quick succession in the mid-1970s while Australia's three major soap opera successes of the period, Bellbird, Number 96 and The Box, all ended in late 1977.
While at this time the Grundy Organisation were busy launching such teen-oriented soaps as The Young Doctors and The Restless Years, Crawford's here took the genre with which they had enjoyed earlier success, and combined it with a more youthful element.
The wider, open ended narratives of the show's regulars brought the series into more standard soap opera territory and dealt with such topics as family problems, romances, weddings and births.

Cheaper soap operas with a higher weekly output increasingly dominated, but the genre was not Crawford's preferred one.
Their highly successful The Sullivans series they had begun in 1976 absolutely followed the soap opera format - albeit with superior scripts and a generally higher-quality technical standard - and their later Cop Shop, launched late 1977, was a hybrid mix of soap opera and police series formats.
