Content Classification

Content classification is the process of analyzing a document and adding metadata 'tags' that describe that document which are sourced from a taxonomy or other form of controlled vocabulary.

This can be to:.

• Add subject metadata to third party content/records management systems to help organization of the content against file plans.
• Perform entity extraction (companies, people, etc.) to drive a faceted search application.
• Allow business process and workflow systems to route a document based on its content. For example, news can be routed to particular individual based on the subject matter in the article.
