title: SOAP Web Service method naming conventions
body: <p>Consider a Web Service (e.g. SOAP-based) that has an operation which accepts a bulk of data from the client. From the server's point of view it is receiving data, but from the client's point of view it's sending data. How should that operation be named? The options are</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>ImportData</li>
  <li>ExportData / SendData</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Is there a <em>de facto</em> standard for naming these things? How do web services usually name these?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for your opinions.</p>
