Content Type (Concept)

Content Types are the building blocks of a Content Model. They are built to represent the content of a document set, both in terms of document classification and their data.

There are five Content Types:

• The Content Model itself
• Document Types
  • These are used to represent one kind of document or another. When documents are classified in Grooper, they are assigned a Document Type.
• Content Categories
  • This are used to create "branches" in the document classification and data extraction hierarchy of Content Model.
  • These are also often used as simple organizational tools, grouping similar Document Types under a single Content Category.
• Form Types
  • When a Document Type is trained for classification, the training samples are created as Form Types.
  • Form Types are generated automatically when training documents for Lexical classification.
• Page Types
  • The Page Types are the individual pages of a Form Type. All training weightings are stored on the page types for training samples.
  • Page Types are generated automatically when training documents for Lexical classification.

The different Content Types are used to create a hierarchical structure within a Content Model with each Content Type, forming a different level of the document set's classification taxonomy. The Content Model forms the root of this hierarchy.
