Using Oracle WebCenter Content

Basic metadata fields are preconfigured in the WebCenter Content server database and you cannot edit them. The basic fields built into the system include:

Content ID	Title	Author
Type	Security Group	Revision
ID	Check In Date	Indexed Date
Release Date	Expiration Date	Checked out
Checked out by	Revision Status	Indexer Status
Conversion Status	Indexer Cycle	Workflow State
Revision Rank	Publish Type	Publish Status

Folders are an optional feature of WebCenter Content. When the feature is installed/ enabled folder objects have the same set of basic metadata and additional fields are added to both documents and folders. For example, a Folder field is added to each document to hold the parent folder ID if the document is in a folder.

Custom metadata is added in a single screen in the Content Server’s Configuration Manager application. They are called information fields. When fields are added to this list, they become attributes of all documents and folders.
