REST-ful is a "standard" that we have tried to adopt for all our web services.

@Preet: No it's not, it's a loose convention of practices, and long way from being a standard.
It is simple, and therefore used far more widely on the Internet. The enterprise solutions usually go with more complex ways of achieving same results :)
remember that REST is not the answer for All Web Services! there is time that REST is not the way to go.

SOAP, WSDL and HTTP are the primary W3C standards for web services development.

Most web standards are provided by W3C community. WSDL is the standard that descibes the services methods, binding, end points, etc.

Web Services are all about interoperability so follow WS-I Basic Profile, it has all the standard guidelines.
