Concepts: automatic document classification

Content Engine provides an extensible framework that enables incoming documents of specified content types to be automatically assigned to a "target" document class as well as setting selected properties of that target class based on values found in the incoming document. Automatic classification is optionally configurable; automatic document classification is not enabled by default in Enterprise Manager.

You can extend the behavior of the automatic classification framework by adding custom classifiers supporting additional content types. You can write custom classifiers using Java™ classes.

A default installation of Content Engine includes the XML Classifier which provides support for automatically classifying documents of content type text/xml. For details, see Understanding the XML Classifier.
