Hi All,

Will it be ideal to integrate Meta tagger and MediBin? Anyone implemented this architecture.?

thanks.

I did a customization of the 4.5.2 web client for CSO that is deployed at a customer site where metatagger is used. The customization was per the customer's request. Metatagger is used to generate an xml file that the web client loads. The FIND pane on the web client contains an extra checkbox labeled "Convert to authorized term." This box is checked by default. When it is checked, for all string metadata search terms, the xml file is searched. If a match is found, the "authorized" term is added to the original term.
In other words, this is a many to one substitution, keeping the original term as well.
The code is written so it can also do a one to many substitution, based on a flag. I'm guessing this is the more typical case.

If you're interested, you can contact CSO. They refer to this module as the "synonym search module." Because "any text" searches can be slow when many terms are used, for versions 4.5.3 and later, it might make sense to adapt the module for the full text index search (quicksearch). In 4.5.3, a new table was added to the MediaBin repository which contains user specified metadata to be full text indexed for searching. From the UI, a user must specify a QuickSearch type search to search over this table.
