The SummaryInfoItem Class

Defined in: Keyview_SummaryInformation.hpp

The SummaryInfoItem class is the type returned by Session:get_summary_information to represent a single metadata item. The SummaryInfoItem class has methods to inspect the name or type of the item, provide conversion to string for ease of transition from metadata_map, and to provide access to the item in its original type (by using a Visitor Pattern implementation).

DEPRECATED: The SummaryInfoItem class is deprecated in KeyView 23.2.0 and later.

OpenText recommends that you access metadata for a file by calling Session::get_metadata. OpenText recommends that you access subfile metadata that is stored in a container by calling Subfile::metadata. After calling these functions you can use the functions in the MetadataElement class to process metadata elements.

This class and its functions are still available for existing implementations, but might be incompatible with new functionality and might be removed in future.
