Metadata Management
CentricMinds Enterprise provides a powerful and extensive Metadata creation and management environment. The CMS provides a Metaplate environment (Metadata Template) that enables non-technical authors to build re-usable metadata profiles that can be associated to all content resources managed within the CMS.
Within the Metaplate Repository, authors can define individual elements, build multiple controlled-term thesauri and create Metaplates for use by authors publishing documents and content. This ensures that consistent and accurate data is maintained across the entire repository.
A number of content automation processes can be achieved through the configuration of Metaplates and Centric Controls. These include:
- Dynamic Listings (controlled listings that are dynamically generated based on the most recently published documents, by Author, by Role, by specific Metadata Category, etc.)
- Content Aggregation (build dynamic pages of content that are associated to a specific metadata element, e.g. ‘display all PDF files related to China’, but only MS PowerPoint files that are related to ‘China:Shanghai’)
- Category Browsing (allow authors to browse content via a graphical presentation of the defined taxonomy)
- Content Personalisation (build personalized work spaces that present content based on the security of the user, and the metadata categories of the dynamic listings)
Metadata Management includes:
- Metadata Creation. Build Metaplates based on pre-defined metadata elements and controlled-term thesauri
- Element Creation. Define metadata elements based on standards such as Dublin Core, AGLS, DoD, etc. Select whether the element type is related to a pre-defined Thesaurus or an alternative type such as X500, ISBN, etc.
- Thesaurus Creation. Build controlled-term thesauri and associate them to elements
