Automating metadata generation

TLDR

Both steps are presented in some detail in this paper. The paper focuses on developing a framework for automatic metadata generation. The authors develop this framework by first defining the Simple Indexing Interface (SII) API and then establishing a framework for implementing the SII. Empirical evaluation shows the metadata generated by the SII and its framework performs effectively in a real‑life context.

Abstract

In this paper, we focus on the development of a framework for automatic metadata generation. The first step towards this framework is the definition of an Application Programmer Interface (API), which we call the Simple Indexing Interface (SII). The second step is the definition of a framework for implementation of the SII. Both steps are presented in some detail in this paper. We also report on empirical evaluation of the metadata that the SII and supporting framework generated in a real-life context.
