Standard Metadata Entries

Metadata is considered an intrinsic part of successfully managing assets within MySource Matrix. It is easy to add standard schemas such AGLS and Dublin Core, or define your own standards if more appropriate, via an intuitive point and click interface.
MySource Matrix allows this metadata to be: 

• Manually entered
  
  
• Automatically created by the CMS (e.g. the date and time a page was last modified)
  
  
• Enforceable (pages without complete metadata will not be allowed to go live)
  
  
• Indexed by the search engine

Configurable Metadata

In addition to the included standard schemas outlined above, MySource Matrix allows clients to define their own metadata schema through an intuitive user interface to support their particular business requirements.  Different metadata schema may be applied to different assets as deemed appropriate by the client. For example, images may require different information from press releases. 

In addition, the metadata schema that applies to an asset depends on the schema that is applied to the part of the site in which it is located.  This means that you can re-use a page in different sites which have different metadata requirements.

Intuitive Interface for Creating Metadata

MySource Matrix allows content authors to enter metadata through an intuitive user interface.  You can create your metadata schema to include drop down lists or checkboxes of pre-determined options, and allow for restricted values from a thesaurus as described below.

Help Text

MySource Matrix allows you to enter a “Description” for each metadata field, which is displayed as help text beneath the field on the Metadata screen.

Large Metatdata Fields

MySource Matrix supports large metadata fields.  Metadata text fields can be multi-line and can support data of the order of gigabytes.

Reviewing Metadata

Metadata forms an intrinsic part of an asset, and is reviewable at the same time as all other components of an asset such as the content. 

Automatic Keyword Extraction

MySource Matrix provides an automatic keyword extraction feature to show each word extracted from the contents of your site, ordered by the most commonly occurring words.  A user can cut and paste the appropriate keywords to be used for metadata.
