Overview

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 or actions.

Figure 1–1 API overview

In your application, you must add integration points that implement the Oracle Empirica Topics REST API.

In this document, code snippets are displayed for Java. For a .NET application, C# techniques are comparable. Calling the API via Python or PL/SQL is also supported.

Oracle Empirica Topics is installed as part of the Oracle Empirica Signal application and includes:

• The Empirica Topics web service that implements the Oracle Empirica Topics REST API for Save to Topic in your proprietary application.
• Topic Management in Oracle Empirica Signal for end users to view and edit their topics.
