[CWB] Displaying metatextual information

[Hardie, Andrew]

Do you mean, just display a table of all the titles in a separate UI?

> Create/edit subcorpora > select  by text metadata > choose your field, select “matches exactly”, enter “%” as your query, press “Get list of texts”.

Or do you mean, display it as a concordance solution? not possible because it’s not part of the corpus’s token data.

best

Subject: [CWB] Displaying metatextual information

Hello,
I'm preparing a corpus with various types of metatextual information (free text, classification) in a separate metadata file. Now, if the metadata were included in the xml, I imagine I'd be able to display for example the "title" field for all the texts in my corpus, by looking for <title>[]</title>; as a cql query. I'm wondering if there is some way to display this information for all texts when it is encoded in a metadata file, other than as individual file info?
Many thanks in advance for any answers, as always (a second question is on its way...).
Graham.
