MetaTagger - MediaBin Image tagging

Aryan

Hello All,

I am new to MetaTagger and I am trying to integrate MediaBin with MetaTagger.

The Metagger Integration document PDF says this regarding MetaTagger-MediaBin Integration.

"A MetaTagger primitive for processing Microsoft Office documents and PDF-format files is predefined. The MediaBin MetaTagger primitive instructs the MetaTagger server to open up Microsoft (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) and Adobe PDF documents and produce, based on their contents, the specified metadata (see “Configuring MetaTagger Settings”).


MediaBin includes default tasks, and it is not necessary to define any additional tasks that use the MetaTagger primitive. However, additional tasks you define can use the MetaTagger
primitive."

Does this mean that I will have to write any custom code or do any additional configuration for tagging metadata to MediaBin “images”? or is this OOTB. I ask this question because the line "A MetaTagger primitive for processing Microsoft Office documents and PDF-format files is predefined." confuses me. I am not sure whether primitive for processing the images is predefined in MetaTagger.

Thanks,
Aryan.

you need to learn how MT works. It "reads" a document and suggests MD to apply to the document. There is no way to "read" an image automatically and say it has a car.

That being said, MediaBin already has attributes for images that can be manipulated through TS Templates and the ECM connector. The end user will need to decide what those attributes are.
