man Lire::DlfCategoriser () - Base class for analysers which produce extended DLF records.
NAME
Lire::DlfCategoriser - Base class for analysers which produce extended DLF records.
SYNOPSIS
use base qw/ Lire::DlfCategoriser /;
sub categorise {
my ( $self, $dlf ) = @_;
# Adds the extended field to DLF.
return; }
DESCRIPTION
This package defines a base class that can be use for Lire::DlfAnalyser which writes to an ExtendedSchema. The categoriser only have to implement the categorise() method instead of the more generic analyse().
META INFORMATION METHODS
The Lire::DlfCategoriser should implement the same meta-information methods than the Lire::DlfAnalyser (name(), src_schema(), dst_schema(), title(), description()).
IMPLEMENTATION METHODS
The categoriser does its job using the initialise() and categorise() methods. The Lire::DlfCategoriser implements the analyse() method. It will run the query on the src_schema() using the correct filter and will call categorise() on each DLF returned. The extended fiels will then be written to dst_schema(). Errors should be reported by dying. This method is called before the categorise() method is called.
The CW$config parameter contains configuration data that was specified in the AnalysisJob for that analyser. To register configuration specification for you DlfCategoriser, you just need to define a configuration specification under the name analyser_name_properties. This should be either a RecordSpec or ObjectSpec. Called one for each DLf records that should be categorised. The categoriser should add the extended fields directly to the CW$dlf hash reference.
