Metadata Tagging

Enables filtering, access control, and audit.

What It Does

Metadata tagging enriches your documents with additional information such as categories, dates, authors, source systems, and other attributes. This metadata can be used for filtering, sorting, access control, and enhancing the context provided to the LLM.

Why It Matters

Rich metadata improves retrieval precision, enables advanced filtering, provides crucial context to the LLM, and supports compliance requirements. It helps your RAG system understand not just what a document contains, but what it is and who can access it.

Common Challenges

  • Designing a consistent metadata schema across diverse documents
  • Automatically extracting relevant metadata from unstructured text
  • Balancing metadata complexity with usability and performance
  • Handling missing or inconsistent metadata across document sources
  • Storing and indexing metadata efficiently for fast filtering
  • Maintaining metadata accuracy as documents are updated

Metadata Tagging Best Practices

Consistency is Key

Use consistent naming conventions and controlled vocabularies for metadata fields. Standardize date formats, department names, and other common fields.

Automate When Possible

Use automated extraction for metadata when possible. Extract dates, authors, and categories from document properties or content to reduce manual tagging errors.

Prioritize Security Metadata

Always include access control and confidentiality metadata. This is critical for preventing unauthorized access to sensitive information in RAG systems.

Skip the Complexity

Building a robust Metadata Tagging solution is challenging. Respeak's Enterprise RAG Platform handles this complexity for you.
