OpenOffice Metadata Extraction

[patrek]

Is there a plugin/config to extract metadata from OpenOffice documents and back?

hi !

I'm not aware of a plugin to extract metadata from OASIS document but it should'nt be too complicated as it uses XML files. You can write some code to open the file as a zip file, get the file meta.xml and parse it using SAX

Or you may be interested in a java library like jOpenDocument http://www.jopendocument.org/tutorial_metadata.html

And what extension point should I use to hook this new component into the document activity?

[Thierry_Martins]

no extension is intended for this

Is there any sample code of such functionality that can be found in the documentation or in the actual folders of Nuxeo ?
