Using the Oracle Empirica Topics web service, you can integrate your proprietary application with Oracle Empirica Topics for users to attach artifacts from your application to new or existing topics.

Figure 1–1 API overview

In your application, you must add integration points that implement the Oracle Empirica Topics web service API, which is available using the Oracle Empirica Topics WSDL.

In this document, code snippets are displayed using Java. For a .NET application, C# techniques are comparable.
