I am trying to connect to Thomson Reuters Researcher ID service using XRPC.

My questions are as follows:

1) What is XRPC?
2) What do I need to do to send the appropriate data

+1  A: 

XML-RPC is the protocol from which the SOAP protocol was created. It has largely been superseded by SOAP.

See http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=xml-rpc for many question on this site on the same subject, also http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/xml-rpc and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xml-rpc.

SOAP did evolve from XML-RPC but did not supercede it. In the non-Windows world, people tend to choose XML-RPC rather than SOAP because of its simplicity. Of course, even more people choose REST, but that's a different question.
