infoLib-META is a high speed, full text retrieval system. Any metadata created through InfoLib-EDIT can be quickly searched and viewed on the web browser. Thanks to the Open Text feature, XML data can be searched quickly and directly using the whole text search function.
The XML search function allows for searchers to find specific data by defining XML data structure ( tags and classifications ). The search function is able to respond, without stress, to complex search criteria with a variety of items and keywords.
The data created through the InfoLib-EDIT system can be accessed and searched for thorough InfoLib-META system. This search can be specified through a hierarchical structure, or narrowed down to a search of limited target data classifications.
The InfoLib-EDIT is a metdata editing and control system, based off the XML structure. It also controls metadata editing, which is necessary for digital archiving. Through the web browser, metadata can be added, renewed, and removed. This can be done without needing to worry about the XML structure. For advanced users, text editing is also possible in XLM forms.
It is possible to output and register the metadata in both a CSV format and an XML format at the same time.
Metadata schema ( data structure ) can be applied by personal preference. The system uses DublinCore Simple Element Set as a default.
Archived metadata can be stored and operated on in categories. This system allows for a hierarchical structure ; making a large amount of archived data easy to search, sort through, and classify.
This feature manages contents files. The content data can be operated on in the web browser ( registration, renewal, and removal of data ).
Through the usage of the XML formatted export and import feature, the system can support the transfer and registration of large amounts of archived metadata.
Users are registered simply by filling out certain information on the web browser. Users can be managed in groups. Administrative control can be assigned to each individual group, so the management is easy. User information can be renewed by the users themselves.
