Auto-Tagging Assets

You can manually tag most assets, such as Message Boards, Blogs, Documents, Images, and Web Content Articles. You can tag certain assets, however, automatically when they are created. Tags applied automatically are in only English.

Auto-tagging is available for text-based documents, text-based web content, and blog entries, as well as images.

Text auto-tagging is disabled by default. To use it, enable auto-tagging in DXP, enable a text auto-tagging provider, and choose the assets to auto-tag. DXP offers two text auto-tagging providers:

• Google Cloud Natural Language Text Auto-Tagging: Uses the Google Cloud Natural Language API to analyze and tag content automatically.

• OpenNLP Text Auto-Tagging: Uses the open source Apache OpenNLP. It applies tags based on models for location names, organizations, and person names.

Tip

Use OpenNLP with caution due to potential accuracy limitations.
