Constructs a new, empty metadata.

add (Property property, String value)

Adds a metadata property/value mapping to a given document. Using this function, we can set the value to a property.

add (String name, String value)

Adds a metadata property/value mapping to a given document. Using this method, we can set a new name value to the existing metadata of a document.

String[] getValues (Property property)

Returns all the values of a metadata property.

String[] getValues (String name)

Returns all the values of a given metadata name.

String[] names()

Returns all the names of metadata elements in a metadata object.

set (Property property, Date date)

Sets the date value of the given metadata property

set(Property property, String[] values)

Sets multiple values to a metadata property.

LanguageIdentifier (LanguageProfile profile)

Instantiates the language identifier. Here you have to pass a LanguageProfile object as parameter.
