Introduction

Introduction

The Classification Server (CS) classifies documents using rules which are written in XML in a file known as a rulebase.

This document describes the syntax of these rulebase files and rules.

Typically, rulebases are generated by the Publisher "publish" process using rulebase template files. Publisher Rulebase Template syntax is a superset of rulebase syntax. Therefore, any rule in a rulebase is valid in a rulebase template. The extra rules available in a template are documented in the Classification Server Rulebase Template Reference Guide.

Audience

This document is intended as a technical reference for Semaphore users who are updating rulebases or rulebase templates.
