What is SOAP?
Simple Object Access Protocol
is a W3C recommendation, based on the XML protocol,
defining the exchange of information between applications
over the internet. The protocol provides an extensible
way for applications to communicate with one another
regardless of operating system and development language. Server side applications
employing SOAP
are referred
to as web services, and use the Web Services Description Language
(WSDL) standard to define the service to client applications.
For more information on SOAP, please refer to the W3C SOAP v1.2 Document.
For more information on WSDL, please refer to the W3C WSDL v1.1 Document.
About BIND SOAP
BIND SOAP is a web service providing end users with the ability to access functionality offered by the BIND Search Service through a remote
Application Programming Interface (API). This means that users can access and compute on
BIND interaction, molecular complex, and pathway data directly within thier application. Since the web service is based on SOAP, users
are not limited in choice of platform or object oriented language used to develop their application.
Furthermore, depending on the object oriented language chosen, users can find freely available applications that can auto-generate client stub code
given a WSDL file. The BIND SOAP WSDL file is provided at http://soap.bind.ca/wsdl/bind.wsdl
For more information on methods provided in the BIND SOAP API, please refer to the BIND SOAP API Methods Description page.
