The @type attribute is used within the <ft:meta> element to define the type of the metadata to apply to a map or a topic according to the following values:

  • string: defines flat facets.
  • stringTree: defines hierarchical facets.

The @type element is optional within the <ft:meta> element. If not provided, metadata keys are defined as flat facets (string).

The following lines show an example of the @type attribute:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>   
<ft:map ...>  
  ...  
   <ft:metas>  
    <ft:meta key="product" type="string">myProduct</ft:meta>   
    ...  
  </ft:metas>  
  <ft:toc>  
    <ft:node ft:originId="192fe" ft:title="Introduction" href="intro/introduction.html"  
    type="topic">
