Adding and modifying metadata when manually submitting a query

You can add and modify metadata associated with documents that you retrieve from the post-processing repository. For example, if information is available about documents that was not available at the time the documents were stored in the repository, you can add this information and associate it with the retrieved documents.

To add or modify metadata, you must edit or create a new query file using a text tool or configure an XMLOUT Process to generate the query file.

Note:

Adding or modifying metadata when retrieving documents does not change the metadata stored in the post-processing repository.

You use gmi tags to add or modify the metadata. The gmi tag has the following syntax:

<gmi name="<name>" value="<value>" type="<str>" oper="<set>"/>

Where:

<name>	The metadata name.
<value>	The value used as metadata.
<type>	The metadata type, num or str
<oper>	add – adds new metadata to the document. If the metadata already exists, it is not replaced with the new value. replace – replaces existing metadata set – adds new metadata to the document. If the metadata already exists, it is replaced with the new value.

You can add gmi tags on job level and on document level. On job level, you must add the gmi tags directly after the jobset tag. On document level, you must add the gmi tags directly after the docset tag.

Example 1

Post-processor query with gmi tags to generate metadata externally

<s-dbs action="process">

<database SERVER="LOCAL" name="my_repository" user=" " password=" ">

<jobset sel="ID=10">

    <gmi name="zipcode" value=$zip type ="num" oper="set"/>

    <docset sel="ID=23">

         <gmi name="Key1" value=$key1 type="num" oper="add"/>

         <gmi name="Key2" value=$key2 type="str" oper="replace"/>

    </docset>

    <docset sel="ID=124">

         <gmi name="Key1" value=$key1 type="num" oper="add"/>

         <gmi name="Key2" value=$key2 type="str" oper="set"/>

    </docset>

</jobset>

</database>
