The WS-I specs state the following 2 types of encoding to be complaint to the Basic profile:
- RPC/literal
- Wrapped document/literal
Found this cool article on developerworks that explain all the styles and encoding in detail.

WSDL cheat sheet
With the plethora of tools available today for webservices development, we sometimes forget the basic fundamental semantics of a WSDL document. Here is a quick reference of what a WSDL contains:
1. Types: These are the data type definitions - expressed as a schema of complex/simple types.
2. Message: A message consists of a logical order of one or more types.
3. Operation: Defines a operation that consists of a input and output message.
4. Porttype: A collection of operations.
5. Binding: Specifies the concrete protocol data format specifications (e.g. document-literal) for a portType.
6. Port: Specifies a network addresss for a binding, thus defining a single communication endpoint.
7. Service: collection of endpoints or ports
Thus a service is defined by one or more endpoints/ports. A port is combination of a binding with a network address. Each binding is a combination of a porttype and concrete data format specifications. Each porttype is a collection of operations that define messages that are exchanged.
