If you look at the specification for the eCo document wrapper (section 3.2), you will see that
there are optional elements for <Description> </Description> and <Label> </Label> which are
for a plain language description of the document and a string that defines the name by which
the item is most commonly known, respectively.

While I'm not an expert on the topic by far, I've been led to believe that SOAP is not the way
to go. I'm under the impression that Michael Condry has been starting an OASIS TC to examine
SOAP, a process which, I've been told, has been useful in bringing its many problems to light.
Just second hand info. YMMV
