Classification flowchart
The following diagram illustrates the primary architectural components
of the automatic classification subsystem and the steps involved using
the XML Classifier as the plug-in.
Classification flowchart that uses the XML Classifier
<BEGIN TRANSACTION>
- The client checks in the target document with the automatic classification flag set. The document's initial class security descriptor is set at this point. Automatic classification has not yet taken place.
- Content Platform Engine saves properties and content. The classification status on the document is set to Pending.
- Content Platform Engine queues
a classification request. The request includes a reference to the
target document.
<END TRANSACTION>
<BEGIN TRANSACTION>
- The dequeueing thread dispatches the classification request to Document Classification Manager.
- Document Classification Manager determines the MimeType from the source document and queries the database for a Document Classification Action with a MimeType of text/xml.
- Document Classification Manager invokes the XML Classifier, passing it a reference to the target document.
- The XML Classifier parses the target document to determine its XML document type and queries the catalog for an XML Property Mapping Script that matches this type. (If the XML Classifier cannot determine the XML document type, it fails with an appropriate error.) For more information, see How the classifier chooses a script.
- The XML Classifier applies the XSL script to the target document to determine the property mappings.
- The XML Classifier changes the class of the target document and updates its properties based on the property types and values determined by the mapping script.
- Control returns to Document Classification Manager.
- Document Classification Manager sets the ClassificationStatus on the target document to Complete or Failed, depending on the return value from the XML Classifier.
