Okapi Components

Overview

The ITS Association List facility is a part of the Okapi XML Filter.

To process nay XML document the filter needs to some properties about the tags that are in the document. For example, it needs to know what parts to extract and what parts to leave untouched, it needs to know what elements should be treated as "inline", and what elements should be treated as "sub-flow", etc. A few basic default assumptions are made, but most of the time, you have to specify at least a few properties to process correctly the documents.

The properties associated with a given type of document are stored in an ITS file.

You can specify which ITS file to use with which XML document type in the XML Filter's options. But often, the ITS file to use can be automatically detected. that is the role of the ITS Association List facility.

When an XML document is set to use the XML Filter without any parameters file, or when the parameters are set with the Use auto-detection option on, the filter tries to detect which ITS file to use to process each of the XML input document.
