Conditional Processing

Conditional processing, or attribute-based profiling, means using classifying metadata that allows for filtering, flagging, searching, indexing, and other processing because of the pairing of an element with at least one value in a particular classification domain. Some of these attributes include:

• @audience
  • Name of the audience
• @platform
  • The operating system, hardware, etc.
• @product
  • Product/component name, version, brand, etc.
• @rev
  • Revision level
