Extracting and aggregating metadata with Apache Tika

Extracting and aggregating metadata with Tika

Apache Tika was used with a custom wrapper to extract metadata (e.g. author, title, extent, dates and file formats) and content (text) from collection files. A Java script was then used to produce report that summarised the metadata and content from the collection. This information will be used to inform collection management decisions and identify potential preservation issues.
