 | Metadata Editor |
The Metadata Editor is used to create and manage the metadata for TextGrid objects. This metadata is used in TextGrid for cross-project searches. The metadata input form can be easily adjusted to individual needs. There is no automatic export of the metadata in a TEI header to the XML document. However, the metadata can be exported manually to the header of a TEI file with a single click of the mouse.
In the Metadata Editor, the following metadata can be attached to TextGrid objects:
- Names of agents and their roles (author, contributor, editor, illustrator, translator, institution, and others)
- Object title
- Creation date or date range of the object
- Text type of the object
The metadata edited in the Metadata Editor is not stored within the respective file in the object (TEI file) but in an external metadata database. The header metadata of the TEI object may or may not be identical with the external metadata. In some cases -- such as when a new object is created -- it may be desirable to copy the external metadata into the object header.
