SOAP encoding concepts

Web Services Description Language (WSDL) defines two styles for how an XML Web service method, which it calls an operation, can be encoded in a SOAP request or a SOAP response: RPC and Document. The RPC style refers to encoding the XML Web service method according to the SOAP specification for using SOAP for RPC; otherwise known as Section 7 of the SOAP specification. This style specifies that all parameters are encapsulated within a single element named after the XML Web service method, and that each element within that element represents a parameter named after their respective parameter name.

A more detailed explanation can be found at MSDN here.
