Interface MetadataParser

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractMetadataParser, MetadataParserExif, MetadataParserTika

public interface MetadataParser

This interface is used to extract metadata from content. An instance is responsible to parse the content and extract the metadata. The metadata must be stored in a CMIS property bag. Implementations of this class are created by the Configurator depending on the Content-Type to parse and the corresponding parser configuration
