Merops
metadata
metadata extraction and database population
Many organizations maintain management information
systems, such as manuscript tracking databases, to help streamline their
production, marketing, sales or accounting processes. Merops metadata
interrogates documents to extract metadata providing middleware solutions
to remove the need to rekey document details.

Metadata
extraction
|
The powerful Merops para
matching engine is used to identify document titles, keywords, subject
codes, author name and address details, image and table counts, etc. These
metadata components can be exported and stored as stand-alone XML or text
files.
|
|
Database
population
|
A simple user interface can be used to map XML elements
to database fields, opening up the opportunity for ‘single-run’ or batch
loading of all relevant document details into a nominated management
information systems.
The upload processes can be operated via local area
networks, or via the Web by freelances, suppliers, external staff or
satellite offices.

|
Error
reduction
|
Because the metadata are derived directly from the
author’s content, the risk of introducing errors during a rekey process are
removed, ensuring better quality output from database systems, some of
which may be used to generate Tables of Contents, Indexes, or e-mail
alerts.

DOI
submissions
|
Merops metadata can be
used to submit metadata to external database systems, such as the CrossRef
database which hosts DOIs.
