Overview
Using the Topics web service, you can integrate your proprietary application with 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 Empirica Topics web service API, which is available using the Topics WSDL.
In this document, code snippets are displayed using Java. For a .NET application, C# techniques are comparable.
Note: Empirica Topics is installed as part of the Empirica Signal application and includes:
- The Empirica Topics web service that implements the Empirica Topics API for Save to Topic in your proprietary application.
- The Topics tab in Empirica Signal for end users to view and edit their topics.
- Topics administration in Empirica Signal for administrators to manage topic workflow configurations, work teams, user accounts and their permissions.
