Introduction

yuuvis® Momentum offers a property type for the storage of structured data in JSON format. Thus, it is possible to store interleaved data structures in a queryable way without defining each single sub-property in the schema. The structured data properties should NOT be considered to replace the concept of a well-defined schema. They should be used only if the handling of objects' metadata via the conventional property definitions is not reasonable. Especially, if the structure of metadata and/or the availability of properties differs a lot for the individual object instances, the schema might grow up to a really long list of scarcely used properties. This can be avoided by the usage of a property field that can store a JSON structure as value. In this tutorial, the registration information of media in a library is considered an example use case. For this purpose, the set of information for each medium is provided in JSON structure following the concept of BibJSON.

Requirements

This tutorial is dedicated to experienced users. Please find information on requirements, maven and client configuration in our "Importing Documents via Core API" tutorial, on which the variables' names are based. The handling of any IOException is demonstrated there, too.

Definition in the Schema

In the context of the library example, the below displayed app schema is used that contains two property definitions and one object type definition referencing the properties. The first property bibjsonsample:bibjson has the property type structureddata. This property will be used for the storage of the BibJSON structure containing the registration information of the corresponding medium. The second property bibjsonsample:locations allows for the assignment of a list of strings indicating storage locations if a printed version is available for the corresponding medium. In the object type definition of bibjsonsample:medium, both properties are referenced. Additionally, a binary content file can be assigned if necessary.

Specify Values during Import

Two example objects will be created as instances of the object type abbBibjsonsample:medium. Both of them get a BibJSON value for the property appbibjsonsample:bibjson assigned to them.

...

The second object is a collection of articles without corresponding printed versions.
