Metadata
Simply put, metadata is data about data or, in other words, information tagged to data. Metadata
includes information about the data file itself, the document, page properties, page counts and
custom user fields.
Note
Applications or plug-ins created in PlanetPress Suite 6 and using Metadata will need to
be updated for use in version 8.4.1. No backward compatibility mode is available.
Warning
When a user-defined emulation is used with metadata, results and behavior are unknown
and unsupported. For instance, refreshing the metadata file may cause the document to
crash and/or corrupt. For this reason, it is strongly advised to create backup copies of
your documents beforehand.
Metadata structure
Metadata in PReS Workflow introduces the following concepts for adding information to a job:
l
Page: 1 side of a physical paper sheet.
l
Datapage: 1 atomic unit of content that produces zero, one or more pages.
l
Document: group of 1 or more ordered datapages intended to the same recipient from the
same source (ex: invoice).
l
Group: a logical and ordered group of documents (ex: all invoices for a specific customer
number; all documents going to the same address, etc.)
l
Job: file that contains 1 or more groups.
