Classification
Classification is the process of assigning metadata to
content, specifically the selection of a document class and property
values. Classification can also be accomplished by filing objects
into folders that define classification taxonomies.
Classification can be performed:
- By a user.
- By an application that uses the APIs.
- Automatically by using content-based classification.
Entry templates can help automate the classification process by filing the document into prespecified folders and by predefining the class and property values of the object.
Automatic classification is a capability that classifies an incoming document by examining its content. supports automatic classification of XML documents, though custom classification plug-ins can be created for any document format. For XML classification, administrators create mapping scripts that associate XML tags in the incoming document to properties, thus enabling the automatic classification of any XML document.
