Class AbbreviationManager

java.lang.Object

de.gwdg.metadataqa.api.abbreviation.AbbreviationManager

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class AbbreviationManager
extends Object
implements Serializable

The AbbreviationManager takes care about abbreviations: parse source file, lookup and save. Abbreviations are used in output, where you want a short (numeric) entry instead of a long text. So for example if the source record contain the value "Bavarian State Library", and we map number 5 to it the project will output 5 instead of the longer string.

It can read two types of files. For plain files the abbreviatable entry will be the full line, and the abbreviated value will be the line number. For comma separated files the first field will be the abbreviated value, and the rest of the line will be the key to abbreviate.

Example for plain file

 National Library of France
 Österreichische Nationalbibliothek - Austrian National Library
 National Library of the Netherlands
 

Example for comma separated file:

 1;National Library of France
 2;Österreichische Nationalbibliothek - Austrian National Library
 3;National Library of the Netherlands
