Chris A. Mattmann commented on TIKA-1607: ----------------------------------------- Hi Ray. I'm not sure what shoehorn the index into the group - do you mean e.g., indexing arrays? If so, I don't see how it needs to be shoe-horned into the group or anything. By default keys are multi-valued metadata - thus if you have an array and you want the ith key, e.g., as in your example above, OODT metadata (and my hope Tika metadata) would (using "/" as a delimeter) 1. Find the group "tika:metadata"; and if it exists 2. Find its sub-group, "vcard:tel[1]"; and if it exists 3. Grab the value "vcard:uri" out of it. > Introduce new arbitrary object key/values data structure for persistence of > Tika Metadata > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: TIKA-1607 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1607 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: core, metadata > Reporter: Lewis John McGibbney > Assignee: Lewis John McGibbney > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 1.11 > > Attachments: TIKA-1607v1_rough_rough.patch, > TIKA-1607v2_rough_rough.patch, TIKA-1607v3.patch > > > I am currently working implementing more comprehensive extraction and > enhancement of the Tika support for Phone number extraction and metadata > modeling. > Right now we utilize the String[] multivalued support available within Tika > to persist phone numbers as > {code} > Metadata: String: String[] > Metadata: phonenumbers: number1, number2, number3, ... > {code} > I would like to propose we extend multi-valued support outside of the > String[] paradigm by implementing a more abstract Collection of Objects such > that we could consider and implement the phone number use case as follows > {code} > Metadata: String: Object > {code} > Where Object could be a Collection<HashMap<String/Property, > HashMap<String/Property, String/Int/Long>> e.g. > {code} > Metadata: phonenumbers: [(+162648743476: (LibPN-CountryCode : US), > (LibPN-NumberType: International), (etc: etc)...), (+1292611054: > LibPN-CountryCode : UK), (LibPN-NumberType: International), (etc: etc)...) > (etc)] > {code} > There are obvious backwards compatibility issues with this approach... > additionally it is a fundamental change to the code Metadata API.
