Using the Similarity Discovery Web Service

The similarity discovery web service allows you to compare the profile data of two transform files to predict how the two files are similar.

To use the similarity discovery web service:
  1. Login to the service.
  2. Note the service URL. Create your web service call URL by replacing text in the URL after /appui/ with  ws/profilesimilarity?dataserviceleft=dataOne&dataserviceright=dataTwo ; where dataOne and dataTwo are the names of the two transform files you want to compare.
  3. Enter the URL in the browser address bar.
The results of the similarity prediction are displayed.

Note:

Use a browser plugin like JSONView to view the JSON results in a readable format.
