What's the difference between application layer and business logic layer? I kind of understand that business layer provides business specific services and application layer couples business services and provides services to the end user (Web Service, UI, etc). Am I right?

Business logic refers to the rules and procedures that govern a business, including things like pricing, discounts, inventory levels, customer eligibility, etc. Application logic, on the other hand, is the code that implements those business rules within a specific application.
The business logic layer is the business components that provide OAGIS services to return data or start business processes. The presentation layer uses these OAGIS services to display data, or to invoke a business process. The business logic provides data required by the presentation layer.
Layered design and the data access layerThe data layer manages the physical storage and retrieval of data. The business layer maintains business rules and logic. The presentation layer houses the user interface and related presentation code.
This layer, also called Business Logic or Domain Logic or Application Layer, accepts user requests from the browser, processes them, and determines the routes through which the data will be accessed. The workflows by which the data and requests travel through the back end are encoded in a business layer.
That sounds about correct.
The business layer implements the Domain Model in a boundary-technology-neutral way. In other words, it doesn't depend on any particular UI or service interface-related technology, such as web libraries or windowing APIs. You should be able to consume the business layer from any type of application - web, rich client, web service, etc.
The application layer bridges the gap between the business layer and the boundary technology.

To summarize:
The application layer consists of those elements that are specific to this application. So that would contain the UI, back-end processing for the UI, and any bindings between the application and your business logic layer. In a perfect world, this layer would not contain any logic of the business domain.
The business logic layer (BLL) contains logic specific to the business domain. Also, if you are going to create a separate BLL, this layer should contain logic that could be used by other applications as well as this one. For example, a set of web services exposing a well-defined API. This de-couples the BLL from your application and allows you the flexibility to build other applications on top of it in the future.
