GMedia TX offers advanced on-line searching services tightly integrated into the GMedia TX client application for complete archive content searching and presentation.

The implementation also opens a door to access the metadata archive and its searching features through SOA tools and technologies and to populate the metadata archive from 3rd party sources including production and post-production workflows.

The metadata archive currently provided as an integral part of the GMedia TX enterprise broadcast management solution includes these significant functions:

• Context based XML metadata database capable to attach XML metadata to any object managed by the GMedia TX database;
• Relational data conversion tools for automatic conversion of structured operational data into XML metadata database with load balancing options (conversion queue management, scheduled conversions);
• SOA based integration tools to download the metadata from 3rd party sources with flexible XML parsing support;
• Context based XML full-text indexing and searching support with load balancing options;
• Metadata searching support and result presentation integrated into the GMedia TX client application;
• Metadata distribution services for both off-line (email) and on-line (SOA) distribution and integration with 3rd party components;
• SOA based metadata searching and access services.
