Testing Your Mapping

To map the fields, configure these parameters:

  1. Choose the Selector: This specifies XPath query to a specific metadata record element to be selected.

  2. Enter the Field Name: This is the target field in Voyager that gets mapped to the specified metadata output.

  3. Confirm the Type: This refers to the data type of the field name. For example, if field name is set to “name”, data type automatically gets set to “text.”

  4. Choose an Action: Users can select from five different functions:

    • Set Field— Assigns value to the specified field

    • Append Field—Adds to/modifies pre-existing field

    • Set Geo—Sets a geographic bounding box based on coordinates specified in the metadata

    • Expand Geo—Expands geographic bounding box from previously set coordinates

    • Add Link—Helps point field to a URL

  5. Converter - Converter settings are optional and if the user does not specify one, Voyager, by default, assigns an appropriate converter to the field.

  • Bbox -- Converts bounding box values contained in the XML document 

  • Gml_Geometry -- Converts geometric (line, circle etc) coordinates from the XML document

  • Date -- If the Date field is represented as a string value in the XML document, this  converts it into a standard date format 

  • String256 -- Finds a String within the element with a maximum length of 256 characters

  • String512 -- Finds a String within the element with a maximum length of 512 characters

  • StringValue -- Finds a String (of any length) within the element

...

For example, here the Field Name is City, whose data type is String.

NoteNOTE: when selecting a field name you'll need to either select an existing field name or you can also enter a custom field name as long as it uses a prefix "meta_", "id_".
